power electronics

I am a student in power electronic filed. When I design PCB and calculate the junction temperature of MOSFET, I am very confused about the thermal design question. My PCB design is here: (in the middle of the figure) : three MOSFETs in parallel, so 12 MOSFETs(Rthj-c=0.4 from datasheet) in one...

Dear All About Circuits Team, I hope everyone is doing well, I have a question about the MOSFET's behaviour, How can I figure out how much heat the Mosfet produces per amp and how much current it can consume when acting as a load? Below, the Mosfet application shown in the figure, it's an...

Hi All, I have designed a resonant LCC converter for my thesis. It has been some time since I visited the theory and believe I used the following document by Robert Steigerwald to select the resonant components: IEEE Xplore Full-Text PDF: I was attempting to rearrange this equation for the...

Hi , I will calculate GaN transistors switching losses in Dc DC converter Systems. The formula is , Psw= Vds*Id*fsw*((Ton+Toff)/2) . Vds and Id are drain-source voltage and drain current of the device at OFF and ON intervals respectively. fsw switching frequency and Ton is switching time...

Hi everybody. I’m trying to simulate a circuit with a PI PB control, the problem is when i use the multiplier block the result isn´t correct. For the purpose to explain what´s going on please look the image below. There are 3 voltage probes (V1, V2, V3). In the simulation you can see the...

Hello everyone, i found an appilcatin note to appyling IGBTs and there are Formulas to calculate turn-on/off switching Energy on IGBTs my question is, how can i determine t1,t2,t3 and t4? Thanks

I am wondering how will these two differ, One is Ac to DC converter module, second one is SMPS. Link1(AC to DC module) Link2(SMPS) when link 1 is available in a small size than Link2(SMPS). Under what circumstance we have to use Link1 and link2. I understand that SMPS is 5watt, Link1/Module...

Hi, In my first job I have worked as an Embedded systems engineer (with major focus on software) for 1.5 years. I am currently working as a hardware engineer for 2 years. Considering the long term success, is it better to specializing in one area( Specifically analog electronics or...

Hi, I'm looking for a DC-DC converter topology with the following characteristics: Input Voltage Range 2.7-5V Output Voltage: 12V Output Power: 1kW It is not of primary importance the isolation. Do you have any suggestions about the most suitable DC-DC converter topology (high power and high...

I couldn't convert the ADC reading to its respective analog current value. I connected a microcontroller in the Vout to read the current, it will give an 8bit HEX value. The load is another microcontroller. The ADC reading in no-load is HEX00. (8-bit @ 3.3V) and LTC6106 for current sensing...

Draw the dc output voltage and voltage across T3 in a Graetz Circuit when firing angle is 45 degree and u=30 degree.

hi guys, currently i'm want to design a dc-dc boost converter but i don't know what is the best frequency value that i need to use in this converter. can someone advise how to find the best pwm switching frequency? i need a justification why i supposed to use that frequency value on my design.

Hi, I am working on a solar panel whose output maximum specifications are 6V, 100mA ( nearly 0.6watt). Practically these values came to 5v, 80mA when tested in afternoon sun. I want to run a motor whose operating voltage is (3~12V), no load current is 180mA. I would like to know...

Hopefully this is an easy design question to answer. I'll start with some background information. The case is with lithium iron phosphate or LFP batteries that are "48 volts" used for household photovoltaic battery backup. There are many brands and there are different lithium chemistries, but we...

Here is a schematic of the circuit I built. The circuit consist of a primary coil, secondary coil, iron core, 2 lithium ion cells connected together, forming a battery, and a multimeter to measure current. I think the battery sometimes gets hot. Should i put a resistor between the battery and...

I am working on a static transfer switch which aim is to allow supplying a load with 2 different sources in order to have a redundancy when feeding the load. The head to tail assembly allow the current to flow in 2 directions (for each alternative of the input current) The working condition is...

Hi, I made some Simulations of a Unified Power Quality Controller and now I have to make some test. I would like to buy some board already designed but without the control. I'm not looking for IGBT or SiC MOSFET three-phase module, but I would like something already equipped with heatsinks...

Hello, I'm designing a resistive load bank. Currently, I am designing the switch that will be controlled by a control signal via Arduino uno rev 3. The bidirectional switch is composed of two back-to-back igbts connected by their emitters with anti-parallel diodes. (Due to cost, there are two...

Hi All, As an electronics engineer, I have always worked with low voltage circuits and found it very difficult to control high voltage, AC powered devices. In my last project, I needed a power board that I can just plug my MCU or DSP and control an instrument that needs high power. I wanted an...

Hello everyone ... For a project, I want to make an escalator smart with a number of PIR sensors So that the escalator turns off after one minute of not using it And for example, turn on 20 seconds later If this cycle continues, can it damage the engine? The specifications of this motor are 9 kW...
