A half-bridge driver with integrated power switches has been designed and verified experimentally using the Philips EZ-HV SOI process. A 30W, 400V input class-D series resonant inverter using this power module was demonstrated to operate successfully at 1MHz with 90% efficiency and only 0.19W power loss in the half-bridge driver. This integrated SOI approach offers a significant performance improvement and component reduction over the bulk-technology-based high-voltage highfrequency driver solution.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
