These switches are meant

2、to be the substitutions of the mechanical switches, but they are severely limited by the properties of the semiconductor materials and the process of manufacturing. Section 1 Semiconductor SwitchesSwitching losses Power losses in the power electronic converters are comprised of the switching losses

3、and the parasitic losses. The parasitic losses account for the losses due to the winding resistances of the inductors and transformers, the dielectric losses of capacitors, the eddy and the hysteresis losses. The switching losses are significant and can be managed. They can be further divided into t

4、hree components: (a) the on-state losses, (b) the off-state losses and the losses in the transition states. Section 1 Semiconductor SwitchesOn-State Losses The electrical switches conduct heavy current and have nonzero voltage across the switch in the on-state. The on-state power losses are given by

5、 fsononiuP (3-1) The uson and if are respectively the switch voltage in the on-state and the forward current through the switch. For example, the typical power diodes and the power transistors have nearly 0.5 to l volt across them in the on-state. The forward currents can be hundreds to thousands of

6、 amperes. The on-stateSection 1 Semiconductor Switchespower losses are very significant. Off-State Losses The electrical switches withstand high voltages and have nonzero leakage current through the switch in the off-state. The off-state power losses are given by rsoffoffiuP(3-2)Section 1 Semiconduc

7、tor Switches The usoff and ir are respectively the reverse bias voltage in the off-state and the reverse current through the switch. For example, the typical power diodes and the power transistors have high reverse voltages in hundreds to thousands of volts and microamps to milliamps through them in

8、 the off state. Transition-State Losses The practical switching devices have limited capabilities of rate of voltage transition and the rate of current steering. These nonabrupt transition ratesSection 1 Semiconductor Switchesgive rise to power losses in the switching devices. We will examine these

9、switching losses in two cases separately: the inductive and capacitive loads.Switching with Inductive Load The inductor is assumed to be large so that the current through it in steady state is nearly constant Io. Assume that initially the switch is off. The inductor current is +Io and freewheels thr

10、ough diode V1. When the switch is turned on, the current through the switch begins to build up linearly (an assumption) to +Io while the diode V1 is still on. Section 1 Semiconductor SwitchesThe on diode has zero voltage across it (an ideal diode), hence, the voltage on the switch is held constant a

11、t +Us. When the current buildup is over, the diode Vl ceases to conduct and the voltage on the switch ramps linearly (again an assumption) down to zero. When the switch is turned off, the voltage begins to build up linearly to +Us while the diode V1 is off. While the diode is off the current through

12、 the switch equals the inductor current, which is constant Io. After the switch voltage reaches zero, Section 1 Semiconductor Switchesthe current through the switch begins to decrease b e l o w I o , a s t h e remaining current is now steered through the diode V1, which has now turned on. The curren

13、t through the switch ramps down to zero ultimately. Switching waveforms with inductive load are shown in Fig.3-1. Fig.3-1 Switching waveforms with inductive load Section 1 Semiconductor Switches The switching losses are given by s2off1off2on1onossw21fttttIUP(3-3) The switching power losses increase

14、linearly with the switching frequency like in the resistive case but about six times more. The upper bound on the switching frequency is also about half. 2off1off2on1onmaxs1ttttf(3-4)Section 1 Semiconductor SwitchesSwitching with capacitive load The capacitor is assumed to be large so that the volta

15、ge through it in steady state is nearly constant Uo. Assume that initially the switch is on, hence, the current through the switch is IS. The capacitor voltage is Uo, the voltage across the switch is zero and the diode V1 is reverse biased. When the switch is turned off, the switch voltage begins to

16、 ramp up to + Uo while the diode V1 is still off. During this buildup, the current through the switch is held constant at IS . When the voltage buildup isSection 1 Semiconductor Switchesover, the diode Vl begins to conduct and the voltage on the switch is clamped at Uo, and the current through the s

17、witch ramps linearly (again an assumption) down to zero. When the switch is closed, the current begins to build up linearly to IS while the diode V1 is still on. The voltage on the switch remains clamped at UO. After the switch current reaches IS, the diode turns off and the voltage on the switch be

18、gins to ramp down to zero. Section 1 Semiconductor Switches The switching power losses in the case of capacitive load also have similar dependence as in the case of inductive loads. The switching losses can be usually minimized in two ways: divert the energy from the switch to a loss or non-loss cir

19、cuit or switch at either zero current or at zero voltage. The first is called snubbering and the later is known as zero-voltage and zero-current switching.
