1. Introduction

high-power ultrasonic device addition for industrial cleaning, still in medical, military, oil transducer technology, as well as ocean exploration and development of, noise abatement anti-vibration system, intelligent robot has a broad application prospects, fluctuations in oil and other high-tech fields [1]. The ultrasonic device by ultrasonic power inverter and transducer. In recent years, due to the development and the successful development of new rare earth functional materials, the manufacture of high-power ultrasonic transducer as possible, but the accompanying high-frequency sine wave inverter power supply products are still rare. At present, the market of high-power sine power inverter are using products made in low-frequency IGBT [2], while high-frequency inverter power supply most of the power or duty cycle of the square wave pulse inverter power adjustable. Therefore, the high-frequency high-power sine wave inverter power has become the bottleneck of ultrasound applications, making the power development has become a pressing problem. Here, the application of hybrid pulse width modulation (Hybrid Pulse Width Modulation, HPWM) control technology, using MOSFET parallel operation mode, the application MCU intelligent control systems, high-performance, high-power sine the ultrasonic wave inverter power development.

for high-performance, high-power the sine ultrasonic inverter power frequency of 25kHz, the power of 4.5kW. The voltage is adjustable between 0 ~ 200V adjustable frequency between 10 ~ 25kHz.

a. program design
the Figure 1 shows a hardware configuration of the power inverter system diagram [3]. It is composed of two parts by AC / DC and DC / AC. AC - DC - AC main circuit, driver circuit includes the main aspects of the SCM control system, a low-pass filter, display and protection.


main circuit directly from 220V mains supply. ECONOMY the thyristor Constant-Current/Constant-Voltage control module phase AC voltage of the AC is converted to DC inverter provides a constant DC voltage.

order so that the inverter can get better performance and waveform sinusoidal output, there needs to be greater than the carrier. Therefore only chosen due to its carrier signal will reach 400 ~ 600kHz MOSFET as a switching device. However, the output power of the MOSFET is smaller, in order to increase the output power MOSFET in parallel can be used to run the way to resolve the contradiction between high frequency and high power.

power inverter the inverter parts of constant frequency triangular carrier signal input sine wave with asynchronous modulation. Control mode uses HPWM Technology. The inverse of the DC voltage pulse signal into a series of amplitude. The amplitude and pulse width of the pulse signal is always proportional to the modulating sine wave. These pulse signals are filtered via low pass filter, a high-frequency carrier signal. Can be obtained with the modulation wave with the frequency of the sine wave output. Therefore, as long as the change in the input modulated wave can be easily realized adjustable amplitude, variable frequency sine wave output.

b.SCM control system the power supply using the control inverter design 80C196MC microcontroller as the the inverter control core [4,5]. 80C196MC microcontroller internal waveform generator WFG, the CPU time is very short. By P6 port directly output 4 PWM signals for the inverter drive. By 80C196MC and EPROM2764 constitute minimum microcomputer system. The completion of the ultrasonic frequency and the magnitude of the voltage given. As well as the setting of the carrier frequency, and analog output unipolar sine wave with constant amplitude pulse width modulation HPWM signal. The display of the voltage amplitude and frequency can be realized. And the protective control of the power supply.

c. the inverter main circuit and HPWM of control run at high frequencies, the the great switching losses of the power tube. The device is easy to damage, to limit the power increases. The key technical problems of the power in the high frequency, and how to get the high-power variable frequency sine wave output. That the inverter difficulty is how to reduce the switching losses of the switch, the du / dt and di / dt stress dropped significantly, in order to achieve the high-frequency inverter. In order to achieve these objectives. The main circuit of the inverter uses a soft-switching technology is easy to implement single-phase full-bridge topology. In a controlled manner using the the HPWM control mode. Figure 2 illustrates the topology of the main circuit of the inverter. Figure 3 illustrates the output signal of the four switch control of the drive signal and the inverter.

essence of the HPWM control mode is still a unipolar SPWM control. The output of the inverter bridge is a tri-state output voltage wave shape. The sinusoidal modulating wave and the triangular carrier wave in the positive half cycle of the output voltage of the AC / sectional generated pulse signal control VS1 and VS3 bridge Arm HF complementary off; control VS2 and VS4 the arm low frequency complementary to off, i.e. VS2 off, VS4 guide through. In the negative half cycle of the output voltage, the working status of the two bridge arm is interchangeable. VS1 has been turned off, VS3 has been turned on, VS2, and VS4 high-frequency modulation work. HPWM control mode two power tubes work in the low-frequency case, reducing the switching losses in general, this is extremely beneficial to improve power at high frequencies. With SPWM control way. HPWM way two bridge arm alternately work in the state of low-frequency and high-frequency, so that the two bridge arm symmetry, power transistors operating state equalizer, which will extend the life of the power tube, so that the increased reliability of the entire circuit, with a voltage utilization rate, harmonic content is small, low switching losses of the advantages. As each switch in parallel with a capacitor, in appropriate circumstances, the filter inductance parameter selection, the circuit is easy to implement the switching tube of the zero voltage (ZVS) off, so that the du / dt and di / dt stress greatly decreased, can be to achieve the high-frequency power inverter.

d.The drive circuit switch tube drive circuit latest LM5111 drives can be used. SOIC-8 pin package and provide separate ground and reference voltage pin for the input and output stages, in order to support the use of powered separately designed gate drive configuration. LM5111 chip peak output currents up to 5A LM5111's two of 5A current drive channel independently, can also be connected in parallel, the peak output drive current is increased to 10A, in order to be able to drive great power MOSFET high efficiency. LM5111's operating frequency up to 1MHz, its open, off delay, respectively 12ns and 14ns. Fully able to meet the requirements of the power supply.

Waveform generator in the center-aligning manner, the counting process of the WG-Counter forming a virtual triangular wave carrier. Sinusoidal modulation wave through a look-up table method. Have symmetry Since the output HPWM wave, so just to create a 0 ° ~ 180 ° of the sine function table. In order to achieve sufficient resolution, the sine function table at 0.15 ° intervals to arrange a sample point, each data having a 15-bit binary value, representing the two bytes, the half cycle of the sine wave output of 1200 of data, stored the starting address SIGN storage area, Grid tie inverter. Carrier frequency fc, the output frequency is fo, then N = fc / FO intersection value each half cycle of sine wave output, corresponding to the intersection of the i-th sinusoidal modulation amplitude value can be obtained through the look-up table, the address SIGN +1200 i / N.amplitude values ??of the sinusoidal modulation of the the triangle carrier and at the intersection compared to obtain the inverter HPWM switch mode. Whenever the peak of the triangular wave carrier (WG-COUNTER = WG-RELOAD) or bottom when an interrupt request to the microcontroller, data loading.
