최근 Si기반 전력반도체의 물성적 한계로 인해 스위칭 반도체의 발전 속도가 떨어지고, 더 이상의 성능향상을 기대하기 어려운 실정이지만 Si기반보다 우수한 물성을 가진 SiC 기반 전력반도체가 개발되고 있다. 하지만 실제 시스템에 적용하기 위해서는 아직 뚜렷한 방법이 제시되지 못하고 있다. SiC기반 전력반도체의 시스템 설계에 대한 타당성과 솔루션을 제안하기 위하여, 1kW급의 DC-DC컨버터를 설계 및 제작하고 스위칭 주파수, 듀티비, 전압, 전류의 변화 조건 속에서 Si기반 전력반도체와 실험을 통해 비교 분석하였다. 각 시스템 부하별 입․출력을 통한 효율을 분석 및 Si MOSFET 대비 SiC MOSFET의 우수한 스위칭 성능을 확인하였고, 이를 통해 동일한 구동 조건에서 SiC MOSFET의 우수성을 검증하였다.

This study analyzes the turn-on and turn-off transients of a metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) with high-switching frequency systems. In these systems, the voltage distortion becomes serious at the output terminal of a Vienna rectifier by the turn-off delay of the MOSFET. The current has low-order harmonics through this voltage distortion. This paper describes the transient of the turn-off that causes the voltage distortion. The algorithm for reducing the sixth harmonic using a proportional-resonance controller is proposed to improve the current distortion without complex calculation for compensation. The reduction of the current distortion by high-switching frequency is verified by experiment with the 2.5-kW prototype Vienna rectifier.

In recent years, the switching source devices have the advantage of small, light and high reliability with the high-frequency. But, high-frequency switching has disclosed disadvantage of result from stress and turn-on and turn-off peak losses at the switching instant. Accordingly, in this paper propose ZVS-HB type high-frequency resonant DC/DC converter using soft switching technique (Zero-Voltage-Switching, Zero-Current-Switching) with safety operating of circuit at diving on inductive zone, through the circuit design example using the capacitor $C_3,\;C_4$ with soft switching function and division characteristic of resonant Capacitor C, $C_1,\;C_2$, and, the characteristic analysis of circuit is generally described using normalized parameters. Also, this paper certified a rightfulness of characteristic analysis in comparison with a theoretical values and a experimental values obtain from experiment using MOSFET.

Wide band gap semiconductor devices such as SiC MOSFETs are becoming the preferred devices for high frequency and high power density converters due to their excellent performances. However, the proportion of the switching loss that accounts for the whole inverter loss is growing along with an increase of the switching frequency. In view of the third quadrant working characteristics of a SiC MOSFET, synchronous rectification discontinuous pulse-width modulation is proposed (SRDPWM) to further reduce system losses. The SRDPWM has been analyzed in detail. Based on a frequency domain mathematical model, a quantitative mathematical analysis of the harmonic characteristic is conducted by double Fourier transform. Meanwhile, a switching loss model and a conduction loss model of inverter for SRDPWM have been built. Simulation and experimental results verify the result of the harmonic analysis of the double Fourier analysis and the accuracy of the loss models. The efficiencies of the SRDPWM and the SVPWM are compared. The result indicates that the SRDPWM has fewer losses and a higher efficiency than the SVPWM under high switching frequency and light load conditions as a result of the reduced number of switching transitions. In addition, the SRDPWM is more suitable for SiC MOSFET converters.

This paper reviews the characteristics and technical trends in Power MOSFET technology that are leading to improvements in power loss for power electronic system. The silicon bipolar power transistor has been displaced by silicon power MOSFET's in low and high voltage system. The power electronic technology requires the marriage of power device technology with MOS-gated device and bipolar analog circuits. The technology challenges involved in combining power handling capability with finger gate, trench array, super junction structure, and SiC transistor are described, together with examples of solutions for telecommunications, motor control, and switch mode power supplies.

In this paper, a novel zero-voltage-switching(ZVS) resonant DC-DC converter is proposed. It is composed of two symmetrical active-clamped circuits, the converter can be achieve ZVS in each switches. Also, active clamp capacitor ratios($\alpha$) of proposed circuit can be reduce a peak stress of switching voltage for each main switch. Simulation results using Pspice 9.2 ver and $C^{++}$ characteristic analysis show a provement for the validity of theoretical analysis. The analysis of the proposed Current-Fed Push Pull type DC-DC converter is generally described by using normalized parameter, and achieved an evaluated characteristic values which is needed to design a circuit. We confirm a rightfulness theoretical analysis by comparing a theoretical values and experimental values obtained from experiment using MOSFET as switching devices.

The efficient power MOSFET inverter applied for a simple and low cost power supply is proposed for driving the dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) lamp load. For decades, the DBD phenomenon has been used for ozone gas production in industry. In this research, the ultraviolet and visible light sources utilizing the DBD lamp is considered as the load for solid-state high frequency power supply. It is found that the simple voltage-source single-ended quasi-resonant ZVS inverter with only one active power switch could effectively drive this load with the output power up to 700 W. The pulse density modulation based control scheme for the single-ended quasi-resonant ZVS inverter using a low voltage and high current power MOSFET switching device is proposed to provide a linear power regulation characteristic in the wide range 0-100％ of the full power as compared with the conventional control based Royer type parallel resonant inverter type power supplies.
