Abstract:This paper presents a new active gate driver protection method for high-power IGBTs.In the normal IGBT turn-on and turn-off process,by using diC/dt feedback control,a soft turn-on and turn-off circuit is proposed,which effectively shortens the turn-on and turn-off time,increases the IGBT switching frequency,and reduces the power loss of the device.When IGBT has a short circuit,combining with the suggested diC/dt feedback technology,an improved active clamping protection circuit is realized which implements the soft turn-off of the IGBT,prevents large voltage overshoot at the turn-off time to damage IGBT,and also effectively reduces the gate trigger resistance Rg loss.With Saber simulation software and high-power IGBT module YMIF1200-33 experimental platform,the feasibility of the program was verified.The results shows that under the normal circumstances,comparing to the traditional control scheme,this design scheme shortens the turn-on time by 26.5% and turn-off time by 52.6%.While under the short-circuit conditions,comparing to the traditional active clamp method,the improved scheme can effectively control VCE,reduce the current of the internal gate resistance to 35.4% of the original value during the turn-off time,and reliably shut off the IGBT at the first time.
