In case of design of a rectifier to supply high current, To select switching frequency of semiconductor switches affect absolutely the design of the LC filter value in an power conversion circuit. The conventional rectifier by using MOSFET is no use in high current equipments because of small drain-source current. To solve this problem, this paper proposes to design of high capacity rectifier by parallel driving of MOSFET in the single half bridge DC-DC converter. This method can be able to develop high current rectifier by distributed drain-source current. The proposed scheme is able to expect a decrease in size, weight and cost of production by decreasing the LC filter value and increasing maximumly the switching frequency. The validity of the proposed parallel driving strategy is verified through computer-aided simulations and experimental results.

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.

In this paper, an algorithm of reconstructing the armature current of the battery car is presented by using MOSFET's on-voltage of the dc chopper and a corresponding circuit is developed with the low-cost analog multiplexer. For driving comfort, the armature current of the motor or the traction force should be properly controlled when the car changes the direction and is accelerated or decelerated and climbs up or down the hill. Therefore, an information of the current is needed for the traction control. The proposed reconstruction algorithm is experimentally verified.

The electrification trend of mobility increases every year due to the development of power semiconductor and battery technology. Accordingly, the development and distribution of fast chargers for electric vehicles (EVs) are in demand. In this study, we propose a design and implementation method of an LLC converter for fast chargers. Two 15 kW LLC converters are configured in parallel to have 30 kW rated output power, and the control algorithm and driving sequence are designed accordingly and verified. In addition, the improved power conversion efficiency is confirmed through zero-voltage switching (ZVS) of the LLC converter and reduction of turn-off loss through snubber capacitors. The implemented 30 kW LLC converters show a wide output voltage range of 200-950 V. Experiments applying various load conditions verify the converter performance.

This paper presents an LED BLU driving circuit with a local-dimming structure. The efficiency of the proposed LED driver has been improved by parallel driving 8 serial-connected LED arrays. It employed the soft-switching boost converter topology to reduce the switching power loss of the hard switching boost converter. Soft- and hard-switching converters have the same structure except that the free-wheeling diode in the hard-switching converter is replaced with the n-channel MOSFET in the soft-switching one. The proposed boost converter was compared with the hard switching converter. The soft-switching converter reveals superior ripple and efficiency. A smaller inductance can be used for the soft-switching converter contrasting to the hard-switching one. We also studied on an over-voltage protection circuit of the output of the driver at the no load condition. The protection circuit was applied to the proposed driver, and its operation was confirmed by experiment. Using a local-dimming technique, power consumption of LCD BLUs can be reduced as low as possible according to the brightness of its image.

This paper shows the design of the high voltage capacitor charger which using a modified series parallel resonant converter. The used silicon carbide Metal-Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (SiC MOSFET) is proper for the few hundred kHz of high switching frequency to overcome the bulk resonant inductor and snubber capacitors. Furthermore, to increase the amount of the charging current, three phase delta transformer is used as well as the secondary sides are connected in parallel. In this paper, the design procedure of the high voltage capacitor charger is suggested and the output power is verified by the experimental results with the rated resistor load.
