  • Patent number: 9774275
    Abstract: Platforms and techniques are provided for controlling a power inverter using space vector pulse width modulation (PWM) operation. The inverter converts a direct voltage (DC) power source to an alternating voltage (AC) output by controlling a set of three phase switches. A bootstrap capacitor is coupled to each switch. When each switch in the set of three phase switches is in a zero state, the coupled bootstrap capacitor can charge from the current delivered in a corresponding pulse width modulation (PWM) signal. The bootstrap capacitor can deliver stored power when a one (high) switch state is entered. Each switch can be maintained at a zero state, and thus charge the bootstrap capacitor, for at least two consecutive segments of the PWM cycle. Pre-charging of the bootstrap capacitor is ensured before power delivery is required.

  • Publication number: 20150236618
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to systems and methods for space vector pulse width modulation switching using bootstrap charging circuits. Platforms and techniques are provided for controlling a power inverter using space vector pulse width modulation (PWM) operation. The inverter (122) converts a direct voltage (DC) power source (102) to an alternating voltage (AC) output (106) by controlling a set of three phase switches (104). A bootstrap capacitor (108) is coupled to each switch. When each switch in the set of three phase switches (104) is in a zero state, the coupled bootstrap capacitor can charge from the current delivered in a corresponding pulse width modulation (PWM) signal. The bootstrap capacitor can deliver stored power when a one (high) switch state is entered. Each switch can be maintained at a zero state, and thus charge the bootstrap capacitor, for at least two consecutive segments of the PWM cycle. Pre-charging of the bootstrap capacitor is ensured before power delivery is required.
