High-frequency switching limitation of a power MOSFET resulting from large gate resistance is studied. It is shown that a maximum gate switching frequency can be identified to minimize resistive power dissipation in the gate. Power MOSFETs with refractory silicide gates are shown to result in more ...
This paper describes a new commutation-strategy and modulation-strategy for Three-Level Voltage-Source-Converter (TL-VSC) based on MOSFET switches. The objectives are to (i) reach to a high switching-frequency, e.g., above 40kHz, in order to reduce the weight of passive components of the ...
Its high switching frequency allows the external output inductor to be very small, with a total solution size of 25 x 21.5mm; yet it produces up to 120W of output power with a peak efficiency of 98%. It can also deliver a 1V output from a 36V input at 10A load, with an efficiency...
The new Si Super-Junction (SJ) MOSFETs have a hard-switching figure-of-merit (FOM) which is approaching that of GaN HFETs. However, GaN's FOM for soft-switching is more than 9X better than Si SJMOSFET. Using this FOM, GaN ICs in 400V soft-switching converters are predicted to switch...
So, the power loss due to gate charge is dependent to the switching frequency, applied gate-source voltage and the gate charge itself. The higher the gate charge is, the higher is the loss. 3. MOSFET Output Capacitance (COSS) This is the effective output capacitance of the MOSFET. This ...
why engineers can even increase efficiency by moving to a higher frequency. Switching frequency does affect power loss in a switching power supply. The effects of switching frequency on power loss in a flyback converter can be assigned to basic two types: switching losses in the power MOSFET an...
The large signal switching times of MOSFETs in pulse-width-modulated (PWM), zero-current-switched and zero-voltage-switched DC/DC converters contribute to higher losses at increased frequencies of operation. These switching times determine the high frequency limits of the converters. Simple and ...
"In my design I have a high voltage flyback transformer that will generate most of the noise. I will sync switching frequency with internal logic, so I could at least time correlated measurements with switching frequency. With SAR, I could do conversion just before the mosfet is on and nois...
The change in the losses results in a corresponding change in the temperature of the IGBT. Totem-Pole PFC Control the rectified voltage in a totem-pole power factor correction (PFC) circuit. MOSFETs Q1 and Q2 form the 50 kHz fast switching leg. MOSFETs Q3 and Q4 form the line frequency ...
