Gate Driver Circuit Functionality
Description
Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
Main features of the CMT-PLA3SB12340A
gate driver are:
- Isolated data transmission (robust to
high dV/dt) (data and fault) on both
high and low side channels
- Adjustable fault timer with automatic
restart
- Safe start-up sequence through monitoring of the main supply (UVLO) and
of the voltage regulators output
(through Power-Good function)
- Permanent and programmable Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO) monitoring on external and internally generated power switch supplies
- Desaturation detection function with
programmable blanking time and
threshold protecting power switches
in case of abnormal current levels
- Soft-Shutdown transistor and control
performing power device graceful
shutdown in case of fault and so preventing too high dI/dt in the power
stage
- Flyback DC-DC converter (one per
phase) with cycle-by-cycle current
limit for short circuit protection
- High-precision (typ 3%) high-level
gate voltage generation
- Single-ended Schmitt-trigger PWM
inputs
- Open-drain low-ohmic (typ. 25Ω) fault
output
- Support of 2 separate incoming PWM
channels and of locally generated
non-overlapped PWM signals (per
phase) (configuration via jumper)
- Configurable 500ns (typ) spike filter
on incoming PWM signal for enhanced noise robustness
- Anti-overlap protection on incoming
PWM signals
- Gate-2-Source short-circuit protection
- Support of 100% duty-cycle PWM
- Very low parasitic capacitance between secondaries and primary

VCC power supply
High-side secondary supplies (typ
+15V/-3V)
Low-side secondary supplies (typ
+15V/-3V)
At primary side, the monitored power supply is “VCC-GND”; to avoid oscillation
when (VCC-GND) is close to the UVLO
threshold, a hysteresis is implemented.
At each secondary side, the monitored
power
supply
is
“VDD_L-VSS_L”/
“VDD_H-VSS_H”; to avoid oscillation
when (VDD_x-VSS_x) is close to the
UVLO threshold, a hysteresis is implemented.
Refer to the chapter Fault Management for
details about fault behavior and management.
On-board power supplies
The on-board isolated power supply (per
phase) is a regulated flyback DC-DC converter providing both high-side and lowside channels with the positive and negative supply voltages required to drive the
power FETs. It offers high voltage isolation
between the channels, high dV/dt sustainability and very low parasitic capacitance.
Cycle-by-cycle current monitoring at primary side is implemented to protect the
board against short-circuit.
High accuracy (typ 3%) is achieved on all
secondary positive supplies.

Interface towards controller
Desaturation detection
PWM inputs
The purpose of the desaturation function is
to detect that the voltage at the drain of
the power switch, in “ON” state, is higher
than a given threshold. This informs the
logic part of the system about possible
damage of the power arm (e.g. a short
circuit at the arm level leading to an overcurrent in the power switch).
PWM-XB and PWM-XT input interface is
based on 5V Schmitt-Trigger input receivers and is Active High. Active Low is
available as an option.
CMT-PLA3SB12340A gate driver board
implements 2 protection functions on the
PWM data paths:
-
Anti-glitch: any negative or positive glitch on PWM-XB/PMW-XT
signals smaller than a programmed value is ignored by the
board; this is increasing immunity
of incoming signals against external noise; the PWM signals are
delayed by the corresponding antiglitch time
tMINPW (ns)= 1* [CGLIx (pF)]
-
The desaturation threshold (voltage on
transistor VDS) is configured by on-board
resistors and can be tuned according to
the table below.

Anti-overlap: this circuit prevents
PWM-XB and PMWH from being
active at the same time.

The output buffers operate as an opendrain driver with a very low Ron resistance
(typ. 25Ω), enabling the use of low value
pull-up resistance for increased noise immunity.
An on-board 10k pull-up resistance (connected to internal 5V supply) is present on
each fault output to ease initial testing.
By default, there is one fault output per
side [top/bottom] (one fault per phase is
available as an option11).

At system level, the de-saturation detection should only be taken into account after a defined time following the low-to-high
transition on the power device gate. This
“blanking” time tDESAT_D is implemented
and adjusted by an on-board capacitor
CDESATD (68pF installed) and can be calculated as follows:
tDESATD (ns)= 14* [CDESATD (pF) + 7]
Isolated data transmission
CMT-PLA3SB12340A gate driver board
uses integrated digital isolators. Those
devices provide isolation, immunity against
high dV/dt and low parasitic capacitance.
In case no power supply is present at the
secondary side, a fault is generated at the
primary side.
11
The sensing of the power device drain
voltage is performed through a high voltage sensing diode whom cathode is connected to the power switch drain and
whom anode is connected to a current
source (typ 2mA) and a sensing circuit.
If after tDESAT_D time, the DESAT comparator output indicates that the transistor VDS
level is higher than the programmed
threshold value, an internal DESAT fault is
generated. Refer to the chapter Fault
Management for details about fault behavior and management.
When the desaturation fault is detected,
the power module gate is gracefully discharged thanks to the Soft-Shutdown circuit to avoid high dI/dt at power module
turn-off

Active Miller Clamping
In case of high positive dV/dt and despite
the negative drive of the power module
gate, a parasitic turn-on of the gate could
take place, inducing shoot-through current
on the power arm.
To prevent this, CMT-PLA3SB12340A
gate driver board implements an Active
Miller Clamping function by bypassing the
gate resistance with a low ohmic path (implemented with a transistor) when the gate
is driven negative.
This transistor also helps to limit the amplitude of negative kick on the power module
gate in case of negative dV/dt.
Fault Management
Fault management is taking place on each
phase independently.
At primary side, fault is generated by any
of those situations:
-
Main power supply (VCC) is below
the UVLO threshold
Primary linear voltage regulator
(generating the 5V output required
by the on-board logic) is below the
internal Power Good level
The primary fault state is combined with
the faults returned by the secondary devices according to Table 2.
At each of the secondary side, fault is
generated by any of those situations:
-
-
Those faults are internally combined to
generate a unique fault signal. This internal fault signal is latched for 14msec.
While the fault is latched, the gate driver is
turned off. At the transition between “no
fault” and “fault” situation, the gate driver
circuit is gracefully shut down.
After the predefined latch time period, the
gate driver circuit returns to normal operation:
-
-
Those faults are internally combined to
generate a unique fault signal. This internal fault signal is latched for 14msec.
While the fault is latched:
-
Both FLT-X pins are tied to “0”
Both power switches are turned off
On board DC-DC Converter is off
After the predefined latch time period, the
phase controller will attempt to return to
normal operation:
- If the fault is still present, the phase
will stay in the fault state till the fault
disappears
- If the fault disappeared (e.g. temporary UVLO situation), the phase will
go out of FAULT state and return to
normal operation (DC-DC Converter
turned on and data paths active);
still, on the PWM path, transition to
normal operation will happen on the
next positive edge of the incoming
PWM signal.

RSTN (Reset) behaviour
While in Low-State, pin RSTN forces all
PWM input signals to “0”, turning off all
SiC MOSFET gates in Direct mode and
turning off the High-Side SiC MOSFET
and keeping Low-Side SiC MOSFET on in
Local Mode
The choice between those 2 modes of operation is made via the 2 pin header jumper JP1 (located at primary side, one per
phase):
-
JP1 ON: Local mode
JP1 OFF: Direct mode
Protections
CMT-PLA3SB12340A gate driver is protected on each channel against:

Gate overvoltage
Gate undervoltage

Non-Overlap Generation
CMT-PLA3SB12340A gate driver board
offers 2 modes of operation:
-
-
Direct Mode: PWM-XB and PWMXT are generated independently
outside
CMT-PLA3SB12340A
gate driver board. In this case,
proper non overlapping must be
generated externally.
Local Mode: PWM-XB and PWMXT are generated from one input
signal (PWM-XT) and proper non
overlapping timing is managed locally on each phase of CMTPLA3SB12340A gate driver board
(cfr Figure 21)
PWM-XT
When in Local Mode, an on-board capacitance (Cnovd) defines the non-overlap
delay according to following formula:
tNOV_D (ns)=5.5 * CNOVD (pF)
Board power dissipation
Current consumption of the CMTPLA3SB12340A
gate
driver
board
(VCC=15V; VDCX+=0V) can be computed
as follows:
𝐼𝑖𝑛 = 170𝑚𝐴 + 8.4 ∗ 𝐹𝑠

Figure 21: Local Mode operation
Iin: Input current (in mA) (wrt to VCC =
15V)
Fs: Switching frequency (in kHz)
The duty cycle of the PWM-XB/PWM-XT
signals has almost no influence on the
current consumption (assuming PWM-XB
and PWM-XT duty cycles are complementary).
To stay within specifications of the internal
secondary voltages, the maximum average Iin current should be 1000 mA (for
VCC =15V).

Temperature measurement
Gate driver temperature derating
Temperature of each phase is measured
using an NTC resistance mounted on the
power module DBC.
The CMT-PLA3SB12340A gate driver has
been designed to operate at 125°C ambient upto 25kHz switching frequency.
Above 25 kHz, a derating according to the
graph below needs to be applied.
The NTC resistance variation with respect
to temperature is reported in Figure 22:
NTC resistance vs tempand obeys to the
formula provided in section Max Absolute
Ratings.
Figure 24: Gate driver temperature derating
Figure 22: NTC resistance vs temp
The NTC resistance value is converted
into an analog voltage fed to the connector
pins TEMP-U, TEMP-V, TEMP-W. Figure
23: TEMP-X voltage vs tempshows the
relationship between TEMP-X voltage and
NTC temperature.

In Normal operation
In DESAT fault situation
On PWM-XB rising edge (1), rising edge is
generated on G_LS (after propagation delay through CMT-PLA3SB12340A gate
driver board).
After rising edge on G_LS, low-side power
module is turned ON and midpoint node is
going to “0” state (voltage equals to Ron *
current flowing through the power device).
D_LS node is also pulled down and after
blanking time (tDESAT_D), no desaturation
fault is detected and FLT-X remains high.
On PWM-XB rising edge (3), rising edge is
generated on G_LS (after propagation delay through CMT-PLA3SB12340A gate
driver board)
After rising edge on G_LS, low-side power
module is turned ON; because of a desaturation fault, D_LS node does not reach its
normal “0” level. Thanks to the DESAT
comparator, CMT-PLA3SB12340A gate
driver board detects this fault situation and
turns off gracefully G_LS. Power device is
turned off. FLT-X signal is pulled down.
Fault is cleared after fault timer expiry.
On PWM-XB falling edge (2), falling edge
is generated on G_LS (after propagation
delay through CMT-PLA3SB12340A gate
driver board)
After falling edge on G_LS, the low-side
power device is turned OFF.

In UVLO fault situation
Glossary
UVLO status is monitored inside the secondary devices (and inside primary device
as well; for clarity, only secondary UVLO
situation is described here). When UVLO
comparator (5) detects an under-voltage
situation, G_LS is gracefully shut down
FLT-X signal is pulled down. Fault is
cleared after fault timer expiry.
