Hi, I am trying to drive a half-bridge.
The MOSFETs in the half-bridge do not turn on/off completely.
What could be happening here?
circuit-1 is the main circuit diagram relevant to this post. circuit-2 contains the remaining circuit. The CMOS-H pair is driven by Q, and the CMOS-L pair is driven by Q-INV. CMOS-H drives IPP-H, while CMOS-L drives IPP-L. Q, Q-INV, and the rest of the circuit in circuit-2 are correct and as expected.The MOSFETs in the half-bridge do not turn on/off completely.
Vo-MAINS, the output of the half-bridge, hits only 160V, much less than the 800V mains. Vgs for both IPP MOSFETs hits 0/12V as per the waveforms, so the MOSFETs should turn on/off completely.What could be happening here?
