97.4%-Efficient All-GaN Dual-Active-Bridge Converter with High Step-up High-Frequency Matrix Transformer

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Armin Jafari, Palliyage Srilak Nirmana Perera, Mohammad Samizadeh Nikooytabalvandani

In this work, we demonstrate a state-of-the-art high step-up/down dual-active-bridge (DAB) converter designed with GaN transistors, to achieve a high efficiency and large power-density. A quasi-planar matrix transformer with high step-up/down ratio is demo ...

Mixed Simulation-Experimental Optimization of a Modular Multilevel Switched Capacitors Converter Cell

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Palliyage Srilak Nirmana Perera, Georgios Kampitsis, Remco Franciscus Peter van Erp

This work presents a mixed simulation experimental method for efficiency optimization of a modular multilevel switched capacitor DC-DC converter. The results show that the optimal frequency deviates from the circuit's self-resonant frequency, commonly prop ...

Output Capacitance Losses in Wide-Band-Gap Transistors: A Small-Signal Modeling Approach

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Armin Jafari, Palliyage Srilak Nirmana Perera, Mohammad Samizadeh Nikooytabalvandani

Wide-band-gap (WBG) power semiconductor devices are gaining an increasing interest in power circuits, as they exhibit a low specific ON-resistance (RON) while providing a high blocking voltage. The energy dissipation corresponding to resonantly charging an ...

Comparison of Wide-band-gap Technologies for Soft-Switching Losses at High Frequencies

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Reza Soleiman Zadeh Ardebili, Armin Jafari, Palliyage Srilak Nirmana Perera, Mohammad Samizadeh Nikooytabalvandani, Halil Kerim Yildirim, Furkan Karakaya

Soft-switching power converters based on wide-band-gap (WBG) transistors offer superior efficiency and power density advantages. However, at high frequencies, loss behavior varies significantly between different WBG technologies. This includes losses relat ...

Coss Loss Tangent of Field-Effect Transistors: Generalizing High-Frequency Soft-Switching Losses

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Armin Jafari, Palliyage Srilak Nirmana Perera, Mohammad Samizadeh Nikooytabalvandani, Luca Nela

The dissipated energy (Ediss) related to the resonant charging/discharging of a transistor output capacitance, becomes a dominant loss factor for power converters operating in the MHz range. A recent work has introduced a small-signal measurement method to ...

Measurement of Large-Signal Coss and Coss Losses of Transistors Based on Nonlinear Resonance

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Armin Jafari, Palliyage Srilak Nirmana Perera

In this letter, we present a new measurement technique to evaluate the large-signal output capacitance ( COSS ) of transistors as well as the COSS energy dissipation ( EDISS ), based on the nonlinear resonance between a known inductor and the output capaci ...

New Insights on Output Capacitance Losses in Wide-Band-Gap Transistors

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Armin Jafari, Palliyage Srilak Nirmana Perera, Mohammad Samizadeh Nikooytabalvandani

The low ON-resistance of wide-band-gap (WBG) transistors is a key feature for efficient power converters, however, the anomalous loss in their output capacitance (COSS) severely limits their performance at high switching frequencies. Characterizing COSS-lo ...
