Power Semiconductors
The objective of this paper is present the data requirements for modeling power electronic devices to aid in modeling power converters for transient simulation studies. The presentation will target applications of power semiconductor devices commonly used in medium to high power applications: insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs), Thyristors (SCR), and Gate TurnOff Thyristors (GTOs) and po...
متن کاملMOS-Bounded Diodes for On-Chip ESD Protection in Deep Submicron CMOS Process
New diode structures without the field-oxide boundary across the p/n junction for ESD protection are proposed. A NMOS (PMOS) is especially inserted into the diode structure to form the NMOS-bounded (PMOS-bounded) diode, which is used to block the field oxide isolation across the p/n junction in the diode structure. The proposed N(P)MOSbounded diodes can provide more efficient ESD protection to ...
متن کاملDiscrete Wavelet Transforms for Synchronization of Power Converters Connected to Electrical Grids
Electronic power converters connected to electrical grids allow industrial processes, traction applications and home appliances to be improved by controlling the energy flow depending on the operation conditions of both the electrical load and the grid. This is the case of variable frequency drives, which can be found in pump drives or ship propulsion systems (Bose, 2009) maintaining the electr...
متن کاملApplication of MTO Thyristors in Current Stiff Converters with Resonant Snubbers
This paper addresses the impact of power devices switching characteristics on design and performance of pulsewidth-modulated current stiff converter (CSC) topologies with resonant snubbers. The MOS turn-off (MTO) thyristors were selected for this study due to their high voltage and current ratings, simplified gate drive circuitry, unity gain turn-off, greatly reduced storage time allowing highe...
متن کاملReliability and performance limitations in SiC power devices
Despite silicon carbide’s (SiC’s) high breakdown electric field, high thermal conductivity and wide bandgap, it faces certain reliability challenges when used to make conventional power device structures like power MOS-based devices, bipolar-mode diodes and thyristors, and Schottky contact-based devices operating at high temperatures. The performance and reliability issues unique to SiC discuss...
