00:00:00,700 --> 00:00:05,900

Hello everyone, today we are going to learn about the working principle of PWM circuit

2

00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:14,366

The pin that controls the upper tube G pole on the PWM chip is called the upper tube drive

3

00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:23,600

The pin that controls the lower tube G pole on the PWM chip is called the lower tube drive

4

00:00:26,933 --> 00:00:33,866

Common terms for these are HDRV, DRVH, or UGATE for the upper tube drive

5

00:00:35,166 --> 00:00:40,900

and LDRV, DRVL, or LGATE for the lower tube drive

6

00:00:44,066 --> 00:00:48,666

This pin connected to the back end of the inductor is called the feedback pin

7

00:00:49,366 --> 00:00:56,166

The output of the upper tube G pole and the lower tube G pole of the PWM chip is PWM pulse

8

00:00:57,033 --> 00:01:02,800

The PWM chip outputs PWM pulses to the G poles of the upper and lower tubes

9

00:01:03,933 --> 00:01:07,966

First, let's look at the pulse at the G pole of the upper tube

10

00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,133

It is divided into high level and low level

11

00:01:18,033 --> 00:01:23,566

Upper tube G pole outputs high voltage level, control upper tube conduction,

12

00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,333

output low voltage level, control upper tube cutoff

13

00:01:29,566 --> 00:01:33,966

This high and low level can be understood as intermittent direct current

14

00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:42,433

It means that the PWM chip intermittently outputs high level to the G pole of the upper and lower tubes,

15

00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,600

and intermittently controls the MOS tube to turn on

16

00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,966

We divide the pulse into T1 and T2 periods

17

00:02:00,066 --> 00:02:05,700

And then every subsequent period we're going to repeat this T1 time and T2 time

18

00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:14,800

Firstly, before time T1, the G pole of the upper tube does not output high level,

19

00:02:15,900 --> 00:02:19,933

and the G pole of the lower tube does not output high level either

20

00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,266

The G poles of both the upper and lower tubes are in a low state,

21

00:02:26,766 --> 00:02:29,166

which we refer to as "dead time".

22

00:02:31,666 --> 00:02:36,266

During the dead time, both the upper and lower tubes are cutoff

23

00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,600

because there is no high level in the upper and lower tube G poles

24

00:02:42,900 --> 00:02:48,366

Therefore, the front end of the inductor is also dead before T1 time period

25

00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,833

When entering the time period T1,

26

00:02:52,233 --> 00:02:56,500

the G-pole of the upper tube changes from low level to high level,

27

00:02:57,333 --> 00:02:59,500

and the upper tube will conduct

28

00:03:04,333 --> 00:03:07,166

The G pole of the lower tube remains low,

29

00:03:07,466 --> 00:03:09,533

so the lower tube is cutoff

30

00:03:11,766 --> 00:03:17,566

At this point, because the upper tube is conducting the common point voltage through

31

00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:24,033

Therefore, the front end of the inductor is also high in time T1

32

00:03:24,866 --> 00:03:30,466

After the high level comes over, it flows to the rear stage through the inductor,

33

00:03:32,533 --> 00:03:37,200

and the inductor is in the state of charging, similar to a battery charging,

34

00:03:37,566 --> 00:03:40,600

positive on the left and negative on the right

35

00:03:41,966 --> 00:03:44,933

When entering the time between T1 and T2,

36

00:03:46,233 --> 00:03:50,100

the G pole of the upper tube changes from high level to low level,

37

00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,833

and the upper tube will cutoff

38

00:03:55,400 --> 00:04:01,566

After the upper tube cutoff, the current flowing through the inductor suddenly disappears

39

00:04:03,166 --> 00:04:10,866

The inductor has a reverse electromotive force, which changes from a charging state to a discharging state

40

00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:23,033

Between T1 and T2, because the G pole of the lower tube hasn't had time to go from low to high

41

00:04:23,833 --> 00:04:26,533

So the lower tube is still cutoff

42

00:04:29,500 --> 00:04:31,866

When entering the T2 period,

43

00:04:33,100 --> 00:04:35,700

the G pole of the upper tube is still low,

44

00:04:36,166 --> 00:04:38,866

and the G pole of the lower tube becomes high,

45

00:04:40,333 --> 00:04:42,700

and the lower tube is conduction

46

00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:50,366

When the lower tube is switched on, a discharge loop is formed for this inductor

47

00:04:52,733 --> 00:04:58,433

If the lower tube is not in conduction, the charge in the inductor can not be discharged

48

00:04:59,633 --> 00:05:03,733

During this discharge, the lower tube acts as a switch

49

00:05:04,466 --> 00:05:06,766

When the switch is disconnected,

50

00:05:08,233 --> 00:05:13,200

the negative terminal of the battery is not connected to the negative terminal of the load,

51

00:05:17,433 --> 00:05:19,533

so the load does not work

52

00:05:19,966 --> 00:05:24,633

When the lower tube is on, forming a discharge loop for the inductor

53

00:05:27,366 --> 00:05:31,233

Therefore, the working principle of PWM circuit,

54

00:05:31,233 --> 00:05:34,366

is by the PWM chip to meet the working conditions,

55

00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,300

keep the output of the tube drive pulse,

56

00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,433

to drive the upper tube and lower tube turn on and off,

57

00:05:42,133 --> 00:05:45,200

produce a continuous supply of power output

58

00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:53,400

The inductor is constantly charging, discharging, charging, discharging......

59

00:05:53,966 --> 00:05:56,633

The front end of the inductor is a pulse,

60

00:05:58,500 --> 00:06:01,433

and so are the G poles of the upper and lower tubes

61

00:06:03,066 --> 00:06:07,200

The back end of the inductor is a continuous direct current output

62

00:06:09,033 --> 00:06:12,000

Okay, so this is how a PWM circuit works
