Recently, the demand of large capacity SMPS for industrial area is increasing. Full-bridge dc-dc converter with IGBT is most widely used for large capacity SMPS because IGBT has a low-conduction loss and large current capacity, But most large capacity Full-bridge do-dc converter using IGBT has low operating frequency because of switching loss at IGBT especially at turn-off by current tail and it's cause of relatively big converter size. MOSFET has low switching losses has been widely used for high frequency SMPS but it has a problem to apply to large capacity SMPS because it has large conduction resistance causing large on-time losses. In this paper, for reduction losses at switching device, MOSFET is applied at parallel with IGBT in full-bridge dc/dc converter.

Due to high power ratings and low conduction loss, the IGBT has become more attractive in switching power supplies. However, its turn-on and turn-off characteristics cause severe switching loss and switching frequency limitation. This paper proposes 2.4kW, 48V, high efficiency half-bridge DC-DC converter using paralleled IGBT-MOSFET switch concept, where each of IGBT and MOSFET plays its part during on-periods and switching instants. The switching loss is analyzed by using the linearized model and the opteration of the converter are investigated by simulation results.

In this paper, a novel 10kV, 50A, 50kHz pulsed power supply based on IGBT stacks is proposed. Proposed scheme consists of series connected 12 IGBT to generate maximum 10kV output pulse and 10kW full bridge phase-shifted zero voltage switching converter to charge DC capacitor voltage. Each IGBTs are sustain the 830V of capacitor voltage at turn off interval. By turn on the each IGBT for the same time it gives the path for the series connection of charged capacitor. From above turn on and off procedure, high voltage repetitive pulse is applied to the load. The synchronization of gating signal is important of series operation of IGBTs. For gating signal synchronization, specially designed gate power circuit using full bridge inverter and pulse transformer is developed to generate IGBT gating signal.

전기/하이브리드 자동차, 도금용 정루기 등에 들어가는 전력변환장치는 SCR, MOSFET, IGBT와 같은 스위칭 소자가 필수적으로 사용되며 이를 구동하기 위해서는 Gate Driver가 역시 필수적으로 사용된다. 본 논문에서는 대용량 전력변환장치에 사용되는 스위칭소자 SCR/IGBT를 구동하는데 필요한 Gate Driver를 제안한다. 제안된 Gate Driver는 4개의 BJT를 이용한 H-Bridge를 포함하며, 이는 입력된 DC 전력을 AC로 변환하여 Transformer를 통하여 Isolate 된 전원을 생성한다. 또한 Gate 제어 신호는 입력 전원과 Isolated된 전원이 연결된 Photo Coupler를 통해 Isolate된 제어 신호로 변환하여 실제 SCR/IGBT를 구동한다. 본 논문에서는 Simulation을 통해서 설계된 555 Timer를 통한 H-Bridge 동작을 검증하며 시제품을 제작하여 27V 50,000A 급의 도금용 정류기를 구동시켜 파형을 확인함으로써 제안된 Gate Driver의 타당성을 검증한다.

IGBT는 전압정격 및 전류정격이 높고 도통손실이 낮아서 스위칭 전원장치에 많이 쓰이고 있는 추세에 있다. 그러나 IGBT는 MOSFET에 비해 스위칭 특성이 좋지 않아서 스위칭 손실이 많이 발생하며 주파수에도 제한을 받는다. 본 논문에서는 IGBT와 MOSFET의 장점을 살리기 위하여 IGBT에 MOSFET를 병렬로 접속한 IGBT-MOSFET 병렬 스위치를 사용한 2.4kW, 48V 출력의 고효율 반브리지 직류-직류 변환기를 제안한다. 병렬 스위치에서 주 스위칭 소자인 IGBT는 도통구간에서 주된 역할을 하며 MOSFET는 스위칭시에 주된 역할을 한다. 스위칭 손실을 분석하기 위하여 선형화 모델을 사용하였으며 시뮬레이션을 통하여 변환기의 동작을 확인하였다.

An inherent zero-voltage and zero-current-switching phase-shifted full-bridge converter with reverse-blocking insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) or non-punch-through IGBT is proposed in this paper. This converter not only ensures that the switches in the lagging leg works at zero-current switching, but also minimizes circulating conduction loss without any additional auxiliary circuits. A 1.2 kW hardware prototype is designed, fabricated, and tested to verify the proposed topology. The control loop design procedures with small-signal models are also presented. A simple, low-cost, and robust democratic current-sharing circuit is also introduced and verified in this study. The proposed converter is a suitable alternative for compact, cost-effective applications with high-voltage input.

Due to high power ratings and low conduction loss, the IGBT has become more attractive in high power applications. However, its slower characteristics than those of MOSFET cause severe switching losses and switching frequency limitation. This paper proposes the IGBT's soft switching concept with the help of MOSFET, where each of the IGBT and MOSFET plays its role during on-periods and switching instants. Also, the switching losses are analyzed by using the linearized modeling and the modeling and the operations of a converter are investigated to confirm the soft switching of IGBT's.

IGBTS are widely used for the industrial inverters in the mid power range at low voltage (440V$\~$660V) application. Advantageous features of the device are simple gate drive and high speed switching capability. Due to these advantages the application of IGBTS is enlarging into the high power application. However, to increase the power handling capacity at lower input voltage level, the current rating in each bridge arm must be enlarged. Therefore the parallel operation of IGBT devices is essentially needed. This paper describes the feasible parallel structures of the power circuit for the mid & the high power inverters and introduces the important design condition for the parallel operation of IGBT devices. To verify feasibility of the IGBT parallel operation, the feature of several IGBT devices (EUPEC, SEMIKRON's IGBT) are investigated and the power stacks are implemented and tested with these devices. The experimental results show the good characteristics for the parallel operation of IGBTS.
