Specifically, the device breakdown voltage of the IGBT and the surge voltage are compared in magnitude, and the gate voltage is calculated according to whether the surge voltage has a margin. Generally, when the gate voltage of the inverter is increased, the surge voltage increases. When the surge voltage exceeds the device breakdown voltage of the IGBT, breakdown occurs. Therefore, the gate resistance and the gate voltage are set so that the surge voltage is lower than the device breakdown voltage. Thus, the gate voltage set so as to be equal to or lower than the element breakdown voltage is a normal value (reference value).

- Whether or not the surge voltage has a margin can be determined by, for example, calculating the difference between the element breakdown voltage and the surge voltage and determining whether or not the difference value is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value. If (element breakdown voltage-surge voltage)> threshold, the surge voltage has a margin, and the gate voltage is increased.

- the voltage conversion circuits 22b and 22d are provided in FIG. 7, the voltage change circuit 22b is not necessary if only the loss in the IGBT drive circuit 22c is reduced.
- FIG. 8 shows a processing flowchart of the present embodiment.
- the gate voltage calculation unit 20 compares the load current (referred to as the current supplied to the motor M, the direction flowing into the motor M being positive) with a set value (for example, 0 A) (S201). When the value exceeds the set value, the gate drive voltage of the upper arm IGBT is set to a normal value, and the gate drive voltage of the lower arm IGBT is set to a voltage lower than normal (S202).

- the gate drive voltage of the IGBT of the upper arm is set to a voltage lower than normal, and the gate drive voltage of the IGBT of the lower arm is set to a normal value (S203).

- a set value for example, 0A
- FIG. 11 shows a processing flowchart in the case of control using the lower arm element current.
- the lower arm element current is compared with a set value (for example, 0 A) (S401). If the set value exceeds the set value, the gate voltage of the lower arm IGBT is set to the normal value (S402), and the set value is not exceeded.
- the gate voltage of the IGBT of the arm is set low (S403). Therefore, in the example of FIG. 6, the gate voltage of the IGBT 3 in which no current flows is set to a value lower than normal, and the gate voltage of the IGBT 4 in which current flows is set to a normal value.
- the loss of the drive circuit 22c can be reduced by setting the gate voltage of the IGBT in which no current flows to a low value.
- the gate voltage when the surge voltage has a margin, the gate voltage can be set higher than usual to reduce the steady loss, and when the IGBT temperature or the cooling water temperature is low, the element breakdown voltage is reduced. Accordingly, the gate is also set low, but the state where the gate voltage is relatively high is maintained in order to reduce the steady loss, and as a result, the state where the device breakdown voltage is low is maintained for a long time.

- the gate voltage calculator 20 compares the IGBT element temperature or the coolant temperature detected by the IGBT temperature detector 14 with a predetermined threshold temperature (S501). When the element temperature or the cooling water temperature is lower than the threshold temperature, the gate voltage is set low and the temperature is raised (S502). This gate voltage is a value lower than the gate voltage set in S104 of FIG. On the other hand, when the element temperature or the cooling water temperature is equal to or higher than the threshold temperature, the normal gate voltage is set (S503). This gate voltage is the gate voltage set in S104 of FIG.
- FIG. 13 shows a process flowchart in which the processes of the first to third embodiments are combined.
- the gate voltage calculation unit 20 determines whether the IGBT temperature or the cooling water temperature is lower than a predetermined threshold temperature (S601). If the IGBT temperature or the cooling water temperature is lower than the threshold temperature, the gate voltage is set lower than the normal value, and the temperature is raised by heat generated by steady loss (S602).
- the IGBT temperature or the cooling water temperature is equal to or higher than the threshold temperature, it is next determined whether or not the load current exceeds a threshold value (for example, 0 A) (S603). If the load current does not exceed the threshold value, the gate voltage of the IGBT in which no current flows is set low in order to reduce the loss of the drive circuit 22c (S604).
- the gate voltage of the IGBT through which the current flows is set according to the processing of the first embodiment. That is, the surge voltage is calculated (predicted), and it is determined whether or not the difference between the element withstand voltage and the surge voltage exceeds a predetermined threshold (S605).
- the gate voltage When the difference between the element breakdown voltage and the surge voltage exceeds the threshold value, that is, when the surge voltage has a margin, the gate voltage is set higher than the normal value (S606). If the difference between the element withstand voltage and the surge voltage is equal to or less than the threshold value, that is, if the surge voltage has no margin, the gate voltage is set to a normal value (S607).
- the switching loss and the steady loss can be reduced, and at a low temperature, the steady loss can be intentionally increased to quickly raise the temperature. Efficient driving is possible, and as a result, fuel efficiency can be improved when mounted on a hybrid vehicle or the like.
- the gate voltage is lowered based on the IGBT temperature or the cooling water temperature. Instead, it is determined whether or not the surge voltage has a margin. It may be determined whether to increase the gate voltage based on this, and if there is no margin, it may be further determined whether to lower the gate voltage based on the IGBT temperature or the cooling water temperature.
- the gate voltage is set higher than the normal value Vg0 to Vg1, and then set to Vg2 lower than Vg1 when the IGBT temperature or the cooling water temperature is low. Further, the gate voltage is set to the normal value Vg0 on the assumption that the surge voltage has no margin, and then set to Vg3 lower than Vg0 when the IGBT temperature or the cooling water temperature is low.
- the first gate voltage is set based on whether or not there is a surplus in the surge voltage, and then the first gate voltage is adjusted to the second gate voltage based on the magnitude of the load current, and further the IGBT temperature or cooling water temperature.
- the second gate voltage may be adjusted based on the third gate voltage.
- the first gate voltage is first set to the normal value Vg0 when the surge voltage has no margin, and then the first gate voltage Vg0 is adjusted to set Vg4 lower than Vg0 when the load current is small.

Abstract
Description
図1に、本実施形態におけるインバータ制御回路の構成を示す。インバータ制御回路は、各種センサ、各種センサからのデータに基づきゲート電圧を算出するゲート電圧算出部20、ゲート電圧算出部20からの指令に基づきインバータのIGBTのゲート電圧を制御するゲート電圧制御部22を有する。
通常、インバータを構成する各相の上下アームのIGBTの電流は、片側にしか流れない。図6に、インバータを構成する各相の上下アームと電流の流れの一例を示す。図において、上側のアームのIGBT1には電流が流れるが、下側のアームのIGBT2には電流が流れない。このため、電流が流れていないIGBT2の駆動回路22cは無駄な仕事をしていることになる。IGBT3の駆動回路22cについても同様である。
第1実施形態では、サージ電圧に余裕がある場合にはゲート電圧を通常よりも高く設定して定常損失を低減でき、IGBT温度あるいは冷却水の温度が低い場合には素子耐圧が低下してこれに応じてゲートも低く設定されるが、定常損失の低減のために相対的にゲート電圧が高い状態が維持され、素子耐圧が低い状態が結果として長時間維持されてしまう。
図13に、第1~第3実施形態の処理を組み合わせた処理フローチャートを示す。ゲート電圧算出部20は、IGBT温度あるいは冷却水温度が所定のしきい温度より低いか否かを判定する(S601)。そして、IGBT温度あるいは冷却水温度がしきい温度よりも低い場合には、ゲート電圧を通常値よりも低く設定して定常損失により生じる熱で昇温する(S602)。
