  • Publication number: 20230093515
    Abstract: A synchronous buck converter using a single gate drive control is provided and includes a drive circuit, a p-type gallium nitride (p-GaN) transistor switch module and an inductor. A gallium nitride power transistor is used as an upper side transistor switch, and a PMOS power transistor is used as a lower side transistor switch in the p-GaN transistor switch module. A gate of the upper side transistor switch and a gate of the lower side transistor switch are coupled to each other and receive a switch signal provided by the drive circuit at the same time. By controlling the on and off of the upper side transistor switch and the lower side transistor switch, the problem of simultaneous activation of the upper and lower side transistor switches can be avoided.

  • Publication number: 20190334457
    Abstract: A sinusoidal modulation method and a three-phase inverter are disclosed. A pulse driving signal controller is disposed to connect the three-phase inverter. The pulse driving signal controller controls the transistors of the three-arm full-bridge architecture. By examining the phase angle of the output current, operations of the upper and lower bridge power transistors can be adjusted, so that three power transistors are turned on and the other three power transistors are turned off during the PWM operations. As a result, the dead time is not required to set during the PWM operation for preventing a short-circuit due to dynamic switching errors of the upper and lower bridge power transistors. The requirements of the hardware circuits can be also reduced.

  • Patent number: 8547712
    Abstract: A power circuit is applicable to a Direct Current (DC) to DC converter. The power circuit includes a gate driver circuit and a High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT). The gate driver circuit functions as a Sigmoid (S) function and controls a gate and a source of the HEMT with a cross voltage of the sigmoid (S) type function. Accordingly, an overall characteristic curve of the HEMT and the gate driver circuit is like a characteristic curve of a single rectifier diode, so as to achieve a rectifying, freewheeling, or reversing effect. In addition, since an energy loss is low when the HEMT is conducted, the energy loss of the whole power circuit is much less than that of a conventional diode.
