Abstract: With the unceasing advancement in wide-bandgap (WBG) semiconductor technology, the minimal reverse-recovery charge Qrr and other more powerful natures of WBG transistors enable totem-pole bridgeless PFC to become a dominant solution for energy storage systems (ESS). This paper focuses on design and implementation of a control structure for a totem-pole boost PFC with newfangled enhancement-mode Gallium Nitride (eGaN) FETs, not only to simplify the control implementation, but also to achieve high power quality … Show more

This research investigates the advantages of Kelvin-connected 4-pin discrete transistors, both MOSFETs and IGBTs, in onboard battery chargers for electric vehicles. The study compares the standard 3-pin and the extended 4-pin packages based on averaged data collected from leading manufacturers. The investigation shows significant potential power loss reduction, thermal operation mitigation, and reduced gate-drive oscillation for the 4-pin package. The benefits have been quantified by analysing the operation of actual switches in an automotive battery charger based on Boost-PFC and DC-DC LLC converters. The converters’ practical design demonstrates a procedure for integrating the Kelvin-connected package into the design methodology. The results have been verified experimentally.

The aim of this work is to investigate the influence of circuit elements on the properties of the selected power factor correction (PFC) topology. Active or passive PFC serves to increase the power factor (PF) and reduce the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the mains current. As a result, the distribution network is lightened due to its interference caused by connected electronic devices. An important indicator of all electronic converters is efficiency. Therefore, the work deals with the analysis of possible efficiency improvements in conjunction with the use of technologically new active components. Detailed experimental analyses and optimization procedures are performed in terms of the influence of transistor structures (SiC and GaN) on the qualitative indicators of the proposed PFC converter for a wide operating spectrum. The synthesis of the obtained results is given, together with recommendations for optimal selection and optimal design of PFC main circuit elements with regard to achieving peak efficiency values.

This paper evaluates the performance of the high-voltage wide-band gap SiC power transistors equipped within 3-phase bridgeless 3 kW PFC circuit. The main aim of the study is the experimental evaluation of the dynamic properties and driving power requirements of the transistors, for which the parameters are similar. These are competing products from different manufacturers, while the selection criterion was the same type of package technology (7 pin D2PAK). Second, the effect of the transistor type was analysed in terms of the performance efficiency of the PFC circuit. Within the analysis, the driver circuit was constructed first, and adapted to high voltage transistor driving. During individual measurements, the driver remained the same, while gate-driver losses were analysed for individual transistors. The obtained results reveal differences related to requirements on driving power, as well as to the dynamics of transistors themselves. At the end of the paper, the evaluation of efficiency for different operating conditions of a constructed PFC converter is realized. The obtained results provide a more detailed overview of the dynamic properties of transistors and their impact on the resulting efficiency of the main circuit also in terms of driving requirements.
