Abstract

This paper presents a Five-Switch Converter (FSC) circuit that can operate like a full-bridge PWM converter for driving the DC motor in bidirectional. One of the main advantages of this circuit is to reduce the on-off switching number of power MOSFET. In stead of turning on-off simultaneously two of the four power MOSFET´s in a switching period, this circuit operates only one power MOSFET, while continuously leaving another two on and the other two off in the switching period. Consequently ...
