摘要: Three-phase single-stage AC-DC converters achieve power factor correction with low phase voltage switch stress. Direct input current sensing is performed to calculate the average input current of the AC-DC converter and implement power factor correction. Embodiments feature high power factor, single stage power conversion, and soft-switching of all switches, resulting in high conversion efficiency in a cost-effective single-stage three-phase structure. The converters have low output voltage ripple without a double line frequency component, which allows non-electrolytic capacitor implementation. The converters are particularly useful in high-power applications such as electric vehicle charging.

摘要: Voltage stabilizing and voltage regulating circuits implemented in GaN HEMT technology provide stable output voltages suitable for use in applications such as GaN power transistor gate drivers and low voltage auxiliary power supplies for GaN integrated circuits. Gate driver and voltage regulator modules include at least one GaN D-mode HEMT (DHEMT) and at least two GaN E-mode HEMTs (EHEMTs) connected together in series, so that the at least one DHEMT operates as a variable resistor and the at least two EHEMTs operate as a Zener diode that limits the output voltage. The gate driver and voltage regulator modules may be implemented as a GaN integrated circuits, and may be monolithically integrated together with other components such as amplifiers and power HEMTs on a single die to provide a GaN HEMT power module IC.

摘要: A single-phase four-level inverter circuit topology and a three-phase four-level inverter circuit topology. The single-phase four-level inverter circuit topology is adapted to be used with two series-connected direct current power sources, so as to enable a first direct current power source or a second direct current power source to supply power to a load of the four-level inverter circuit topology, alternatively, any one of two direct current power sources is first algebraically superimposed with a flying capacitor and then supplies the power to the load of the four-level inverter circuit topology (M), thereby making the four-level inverter circuit topology output four different levels. The single-phase and three-phase four-level inverter circuit topologies reduce the system cost and volume by using a flying capacitor, the voltage utilization rate is three times that of the existing four-level inverter circuit topology under the same operating conditions, and the direct current side neutral point voltage can be balanced without requiring additional circuits.

摘要: A five-voltage level inverter topology circuit and a three-phase five-voltage level inverter topology circuit, suitable for use with two series-connected direct current (DC) power sources, include a half-bridge inverter circuit having a first circuit module and a second circuit module. The half-bridge inverter circuit outputs five voltage levels including a 0V level. The five-voltage level inverter topology circuit has a five-voltage level half-bridge structure, and only requires an alternating current (AC) filtering inductor, thereby reducing system cost and size, removing leakage current, and providing high efficiency.

摘要: A hybrid rectifier that works as either a hybrid full bridge or a voltage doubler. Under 220 V AC input condition, the hybrid rectifier operates in full bridge mode, while at 110 V AC input, it operates as voltage doubler rectifier. The hybrid rectifier may be used with a DC-DC converter, such as an LLC resonant converter, in a power supply. With this mode switching, the LLC converter resonant tank design only takes consideration of 220 V AC input case, such that the required operational input voltage range is reduced, and the efficiency of the LLC converter is optimized. Both the size and power loss are reduced by using a single stage structure instead of the conventional two-stage configuration.

摘要: Hybrid modulation strategies are provided for single phase and three phase inverter topologies. According to hybrid modulation strategy embodiments, one line frequency period is divided into two operation modes based on the polarities of output voltage and output current. When polarities of the output voltage and output current are the same, a nominal voltage level modulation is used to generate the output voltage. When polarities of the output voltage and output current are opposite, a lower voltage level modulation is used to generate the output voltage. In one embodiment, a nominal voltage level modulation is five voltage level modulation, and a lower voltage level modulation is three or two voltage level modulation. Embodiments allow inverters to be constructed with fewer switches, and improve performance of multilevel inverters. The hybrid modulation strategies may be implemented in multilevel inverters such as active neutral point clamped (ANPC) and neutral point clamped (NPC) inverters.
