Comparison of Two and Three-Level AC-DC Rectifier Semiconductor Losses with SiC MOSFETs Considering Reverse Conduction

This paper presents the semiconductor losses analytical equations in closed form for two-level voltage source converter, three-level neutral point clamped (NPC) and three-level T-Type PFC topologies in high power applications. The reverse parallel current conduction between the SiC MOSFETs channel and body diode is considered. A circuit...

Three-Mode Variable-Frequency ZVS Modulation for Four-Switch Buck+Boost Converters With Ultra-high Efficiency

This article introduces a three-mode variable-frequency zero-voltage switching (ZVS) modulation method for the four-switch buck+boost converter. This method makes this circuit concept well suited for applications, such as wireless power charging of electric vehicles, where this circuit operates as a power buffer between the resonant converter...
