Three categories of common circuit board layout effects are presented: impedance effects, capacitively induced effects, and inductively coupled effects. Guidelines are presented to determine the bandwidth of the signals of interest, along with methods for determining appropriate conductor geometries. Capacitor selection for decoupling, bypassing, and snubbing is also discussed.","PeriodicalId":273843,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE Workshop on Power Electronics in Transportation","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116856326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The limited resolution in digital measurements and in analogue to digital converters causes uncertainty in the calculation of the developed torque.

The resolution necessary, in the digital measurements, to perform torque calculation of a desired accuracy is analysed.","PeriodicalId":273843,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE Workshop on Power Electronics in Transportation","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130581532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the past few years in particular, with growing interest in value added and the attention being paid to true system cost, integrated power packaging is broadening in appeal in all major market segments.

These modules must have high current capability, low on-voltage, low switching losses, and be able to withstand a large number of thermal cycles. Advances in silicon IGBT technology has significantly improved their on-voltage and switching characteristics. The typical on-voltage for a state of the art 100 Amp IGBT die is under 2.0 volts. This reduction in on-voltage allows less silicon to be used for a given current and improves efficiency. A low inductance power module has been developed, using a specially designed circuit layout and lead structure, to reduce voltage overshoot during high speed switching. In terms of packaging, metal matrix composite (MMC) technology has been used to greatly improve reliability and design flexibility, without sacrificing thermal performance. In particular, silicon carbide/aluminum (SiC/Al), a moldable MMC whose thermal expansion coefficient can be tailored has been used to design integrated packages that have excellent reliability as compared to copper based power modules.","PeriodicalId":273843,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE Workshop on Power Electronics in Transportation","volume":"99 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114977225","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
