circuit simulation of a silicon-carbide mosfet considering the effect of the parasitic elements on circuit boards by using s-parameters

tatsuya yanagi

the high speed switching of sic mosfet is affected by the parasitic elements of circuit board. therefore, we analyzed the impact of stray capacitance in circuit board on the switching behavior and tried circuit simulation of the effect by use of precise model and electromagnetic simulation results of circuit board.

800 v three-phase llc series resonant dc/dc converter using sic mosfets

yusuke nakakohara

this study report that a three-phase, 5-kw llc series resonant dc/dc converter utilizing sic mosfets. the high-break down voltage of sic mosfets, enables increasing the input voltage up to 800 v. around 160khz switchig frequency successfully reduces the volume of isolation transformers. current-balancing transformers among each phases effectively suppress a peak current from arising in the circuit and contributed that miniaturizes the input and output capacitances. the proposed power supply weighs 1.55 kg with dimensions including a width of 18 cm, a length of 12 cm, and a height of 12.5cm. the conversion efficiency of the converter reaches 98.1% at 5-kw operation.

self-sustained oscillation in half bridge circuit of silicon carbide devices with inductive load

tatsuya yanagi

the self-sustained oscillations are sometimes obserbed when sic mosfets switch at high speed in the half bridge configuration. the oscillation is regard as nonlinear self-excited oscillation as a result of its device characteristics. we tried to analyze it from the aspects of device characteristics of mosfet and trajectory of the oscillation in the i-v plane.
