technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of power electronics, in particular to a voltage injection type SiC MOSFET active drive circuit. Background technique [0002] The application of traditional silicon devices in converters has reached the limit of silicon materials, which has become a bottleneck for the development of switching converters in pursuit of high stability, high efficiency, high frequency and high power density. In the past ten years, silicon carbide devices have been developed rapidly. Compared with silicon devices, silicon carbide devices have higher voltage blocking capability, better heat resistance, lower on-resistance and faster switching performance. Therefore, it is widely used in switching converters. The faster switching speed of SiC devices results in higher voltage spikes and oscillations across the power device due to the inherent lead inductance in the wiring. Voltage spikes and oscillations across power devices wil...

Problems solved by technology

On the one hand, it can be suppressed by optimizing the PCB layout and reducing the stray inductance of the line. This method requires high hardware design knowledge of electronic circuits; on the other hand, increasing the gate resistance can reduce or even eliminate this situation , but the increase of the driving resistance slows down the switching speed and increases the switching loss, which is not suitable for use in high-frequency converters; in addition, snubber circuits and active clamps can also effectively suppress voltage spikes and oscillations, but additional power circuits Components such as capacitors or inductors will increase the loss of the power circuit side, which will increase the loss of the power converter

In summary, although the above methods can suppress voltage spike oscillations to a certain extent, the increase in switching loss is huge and cannot fully demonstrate the advantages of SiC MOSFET devices.
