잡음 내성이 큰 단일 출력 레벨 쉬프터를 이용한 500 V 하프브리지 컨버터용 구동 IC 설계

Abstract

In this paper, we designed driving IC for 500 V resonant half-bridge type power converter. In this single-ended level shifter, chip area and power dissipation was decreased by 50 % and 23.5 % each compared to the conventional dual-ended level shifter. Also, this newly designed circuit solved the biggest problem of conventional flip-flop type level shifter in which the power MOSFET were turned on simultaneously due to the large dv/dt noise. The proposed high side level shifter included switching noise protection circuit and schmmit trigger to minimize the effect of displacement current flowing through LDMOS of level shifter when power MOSFET is operating. The designing process was proved reasonable by conducting Spectre and PSpice simulation on this circuit using 1 ㎛ BCD process parameter.
