This course introduces more advanced concepts of switched-mode converter circuits. Realization of the power semiconductors in inverters or in converters having bidirectional power flow is explained.

Looking at a full-bridge circuit board with a shoot-through issue and demonstrating the fix with a simple SPICE simulation.

Navitas’ SiCPAK power modules claim a 5× lower thermal resistance shift after 1,000 cycles of thermal shock testing.

In circuits such as inverters, where MOSFETs or IGBTs are used in series, gate voltage can be generated by a Miller current [1] when the lower arm [2] is turned off, causing malfunctions such as ...
