  • the PWM controller may generate signals to define the intended states of the system.
  • the gate drivers may send the signals from the PWM controller to the phase switches.
  • the phase switches may drive the phase voltage.
  • the inverter may include an isolation barrier between low voltage and high voltage planes. Signals may pass from the PWM controller to the phase switches by passing across the isolation barrier, which may employ optical, transformer-based, or capacitance-based isolation. PWM signals may be distorted when passing through the glue logic, which may include resistive, capacitive, or other types of filtering. PWM signals may be distorted when passing through the gate driver, due to the galvanic isolation barrier and other delays within the gate driver. PWM signals may be distorted when the signals processed by the phase switch via the gate driver output.
  • Gate drivers may tolerate common-mode transients that occur during field-effect transistor (FET) switching and when one side of the floating high voltage terminal is shorted to ground or subject to an electro-static discharge. These voltage transients may result in fast edges, which may create bursts of common-mode current through the galvanic isolation.
  • a gate driver may need to demonstrate common-mode transient immunity (CMTI) in order to be effective and safe.
  • CMTI common-mode transient immunity
  • Gate drivers may have a high-voltage domain in common to the voltage plane of an associated FET. Further, high-voltage planes may be supplied by a flyback converter that may be isolated through a transformer from the low-voltage plane.
  • the high-voltage domain supply may be used to power circuits which source and sink gate current to drive the FET and which may detect FET faults so the faults can be acted upon and/or communicated to the low-voltage domain.
  • Gate drivers may include a galvanic channel dedicated to FET commands, and one or more bidirectional or unidirectional galvanic channels dedicated to FET communications.
  • High current switching transients may create strong electro- magnetic (EM) fields that may couple into nearby metal traces.
  • the magnitude and frequency of coupled currents may depend upon the layout of the FET packaging solution and the direction and length of metal traces between the FET and the control integrated circuit (IC). For example, typical values for coupled currents may be up to 1A at AC frequencies up to 100MHz.
  • the gate driver IC may be placed far enough away from the FET that high EM fields do not couple directly into the internal metal traces within the gate driver IC.
  • the gate driver is placed a distance from EM fields such that induced currents within the circuitry are below levels that will cause malfunction of the gate driver, or a metal shield is placed between the gate driver and the source of EM fields to protect the gate driver circuitry.
  • the output terminals of the gate driver that connect to the FET are exposed to the EM fields at the point where the output terminals are no longer covered by a shield.
  • the gate driver switches large currents (such as 5A to 15A, for example) through these exposed terminals.
  • the switched large currents are generally greater in magnitude than the EM-induced currents.
  • the gate driver is able to overdrive the induced currents to maintain control of the FETs.
  • the high side of the gate drivers and the FET may share a common ground and a gate control signal trace, both of which may be susceptible to coupled currents.
  • Gate drivers may turn on low-resistance switches to source and sink gate currents.
  • Series resistors may sometimes be added to limit gate current.
  • Switched gate currents may be larger than coupled currents in order to maintain control of their respective FETs.
  • Gate drivers may be able to sense FET operating voltages or currents in order to provide feedback and react to faults. Over-current faults may typically be detected by sensing the FET drain to source voltage and comparing the sensed voltage to a reference value. Sensed voltages may be heavily filtered to reject coupled currents. Filtering may slow down the response to fault conditions, resulting in delays in response. For example, the rate of current increase due to a low resistance short circuit may reach damaging levels prior to being detected by the heavily filtered drain to source voltage detection strategy. The resulting short circuit may damage the FET or the vehicle, prior to being detected and shut off.
  • a FET driver circuit may provide rapid over-current detection by either shunt current sensing or by diverting a fraction of the load current through a parallel FET that may have a current sensing circuit. Utilizing either strategy may require a “point-of-use IC” where sensing circuitry is in close proximity to the FET. Even if a point-of-use IC and a remote controller are resistant to EM fields, communication between the point-of-use IC and remote controller remains susceptible to induced currents. Point-of-use ICs have been implemented in low EM field applications, such as smart FETs for automotive applications. However, point-of-use ICs have not been used in high EM field applications.
  • a high EM field may be a field (i) that induces a current within an IC that is in excess of an operating current of the IC and leads to malfunction, or (ii) that induces a differential voltage within an IC which is in excess of the operating differential voltage and leads to malfunction.
  • a high EM field may be a field that is greater than approximately 10A or approximately 100V, for example.
  • One or more embodiments may provide a reduction in switching power losses and EMI pollution caused by high frequency drain-source voltage ringing and drain current ringing.
  • Switching power losses may be proportional to the magnitude of gate-drive current flowing into a gate terminal of a power device. Higher gate-drive current may result in a higher amplitude of drain-source voltage ringing and drain current ringing. Higher gate-drive current may result in higher power device switching losses. Lower power loop and bus bar stray inductances may result in faster power device switching time, so that a power device may be turned on and off in order to lower the switching power losses.
  • One or more embodiments may provide a method to reduce the negative effect of bus bar stray inductance with a safe switch response time, which may reduce switching time, which may reduce switching power losses.
  • One or more embodiments may reduce high frequency ringing of a voltage and current of a terminal of a power device, which may enable faster switching, and may reduce switching power losses.
  • One or more embodiments may lower the cost of a power device and associated system cooling.
