Abstract

FREEDM-Pair is an innovative power semiconductor switch which reduces the loss and cost through the hybrid integration of a Si IGBT and a SiC MOSFET. During the turn-off of the FREEDM-Pair, the Si IGBT is turned off first under ZVS condition and after a carefully selected delay time, the Si MOSFET is turn-off. In this way, the IGBT's turn-off loss is significantly reduced due to the ZVS turn-off condition. During the delay time, the current will be carried by the MOSFET only. During the turn-on, the SiC MOSFET and the IGBT can be turned on at the same time. Due to faster turn-on speed of the MOSFET, the IGBT is also turned on under the ZVS condition. Another advantage of the FREEDM-Pair is the better conduction characteristics compared to the Si IGBT by combining both the unipolar and bipolar devices' advantages in current conduction. Therefore the FREEDM-Pair provides an ideal option to realize the tradeoff between the cost and performance, and can be applied to main stream applications which currently use IGBT. Previously, the 6.5-kV FREEDM-Pairs results have been published and analyzed. In this paper, loss and cost reduction of a 1200V/200A FREEDM-Pair is presented and analyzed for the first time.
1200V/200A freedm对:损耗和成本降低分析
FREEDM-Pair是一种创新的功率半导体开关,通过Si IGBT和SiC MOSFET的混合集成降低了损耗和成本。在FREEDM-Pair关断期间,Si IGBT首先在ZVS条件下关断,经过仔细选择的延迟时间后,Si MOSFET关断。通过这种方式,由于ZVS关断条件,IGBT的关断损失显着降低。在延迟时间内,电流将仅由MOSFET承载。在导通过程中,SiC MOSFET和IGBT可以同时导通。由于MOSFET的导通速度更快,IGBT也在ZVS条件下导通。FREEDM-Pair的另一个优点是通过结合单极和双极器件在电流传导方面的优势,与Si IGBT相比具有更好的传导特性。因此FREEDM-Pair为实现成本和性能之间的权衡提供了一个理想的选择,并且可以应用于目前使用IGBT的主流应用。此前,6.5 kv FREEDM-Pairs的结果已经发表并进行了分析。本文首次提出并分析了1200V/200A FREEDM-Pair的损耗和成本降低。
