Research on Switching Characteristics Based on Optimization Design of SiC MOSFET Drive Circuit

With the increasing emphasis on energy conservation,emission reduction and environmental protection,the application prospect of SiC power devices is becoming more and more broad.In the high frequency application of SiC MOSFET,the change rate of voltage and current in the turn-on and turn-off process increases with the increase of switching frequency.Also,the current and voltage spike oscillation phenomenon is gradually intensified due to the influence of circuit stray parameters.Based on the analysis of SiC MOSFET characteristics,the paper discusses the design requirements and design principles of SiC MOSFET drive circuit.Then,taking the SiC module C2M0080120D of Cree Company as an example,a driver circuit design is realized through the ACPL-355JC optocoupler driver module of Broadcom Company.The circuit not only has the characteristics of fast transmission delay and excellent performance,but also has the functions of overload and short circuit protection.The driving circuit is verified by LTspice simulation software,and the switching characteristics of SiC MOSFET under different working conditions are studied in depth.The experimental results show that the driving circuit can improve the switching time of SiC MOSFET and effectively solve the problem of current and voltage spike oscillation,which lays a foundation for the practical application of SiC MOSFET in the future.

Low switching loss and increased short-circuit capability split-gate SiC trench MOSFET with p-type pillar

A split-gate SiC trench gate MOSFET with stepped thick oxide, source-connected split-gate(SG), and p-type pillar(ppillar) surrounded thick oxide shielding region(GSDP-TMOS) is investigated by Silvaco TCAD simulations. The sourceconnected SG region and p-pillar shielding region are introduced to form an effective two-level shielding, which reduces the specific gate–drain charge(Q_(gd,sp)) and the saturation current, thus reducing the switching loss and increasing the short-circuit capability. The thick oxide that surrounds a p-pillar shielding region efficiently protects gate oxide from being damaged by peaked electric field, thereby increasing the breakdown voltage(BV). Additionally, because of the high concentration in the n-type drift region, the electrons diffuse rapidly and the specific on-resistance(Ron,sp) becomes smaller.In the end, comparing with the bottom p~+ shielded trench MOSFET(GP-TMOS), the Baliga figure of merit(BFOM,BV~2/R_(on,sp)) is increased by 169.6%, and the high-frequency figure of merit(HF-FOM, R_(on,sp) × Q_(gd,sp)) is improved by310%, respectively.

Nonlinear Auto-Companding Method for Behavioral Modeling of Switched-Current Circuits

A wavelet collocation method with nonlinear auto companding is proposed for behavioral modeling of switched current circuits.The companding function is automatically constructed according to the initial error distribution obtained through approximating the input output function of the SI circuit by conventional wavelet collocation method.In practical applications,the proposed method is a general purpose approach,by which both the small signal effect and the large signal effect are modeled in a unified formulation to ease the process of modeling and simulation.Compared with the published modeling approaches,the proposed nonlinear auto companding method works more efficiently not only in controlling the error distribution but also in reducing the modeling errors.To demonstrate the promising features of the proposed method,several SI circuits are employed as examples to be modeled and simulated.

Fault diagnosis method for switch control circuit based on SVM-AdaBoost

In order to realize the fault diagnosis of the control circuit of all-electronic computer interlocking system(ACIS)for railway signals,taking a five-wire switch electronic control module as an research object,we propose a method of selecting the sample set of the basic classifier by roulette method and realizing fault diagnosis by using SVM-AdaBoost.The experimental results show that the proportion of basic classifier samples affects classification accuracy,which reaches the highest when the proportion is 85%.When selecting the sample set of basic classifier by roulette method,the fault diagnosis accuracy is generally higher than that of the maximum weight priority method.When the optimal proportion 85%is taken,the accuracy is highest up to 96.3%.More importantly,this way can better adapt to the critical data and improve the anti-interference ability of the algorithm,and therefore it provides a basis for fault diagnosis of ACIS.

A Novel Crowbar Impulse Current Circuit for Testing the Switch-Type SPD

A crowbar impulse current circuit for testing the switch-type surge protective device （SPD） is presented. The crowbar circuit consists of a computer control circuit, a trigger voltage pulse generator, a main discharging switch, and a crowbar pseudospark switch. The active trigger technology was studied in the crowbar impulse current circuit. The circuit monitors the main discharging current and generates a trigger signal at a proper time for the crowbar pseudospark switch operation. The trigger characteristics of the main discharge switch and the crowbar pseu- dospark switch were investigated. By monitoring the preset applied capacitor voltage, the gap distance of the main discharging switch could be adjusted to ensure a discharging delay time less than 2 μs. Equipped with a surface ttashover trigger device made of high relative perimittivity dielectric material BaTiO3 （εr = 3460）, the discharge delay time of the crowbar pseudospark switch is less than 85 ns, and the minimum operating voltage is less than 1% of its self-breakdown voltage. With a storage capacitor of 9 μF , an inductor of 18 μH and a crowbar pseudospark switch, a load of 30 mΩ and an applied capacitor voltage of 40 kV, an impulse current waveform of maximum 25 kA was generated with a rise time and time to half peak value of 17.2 μs and 336μs respectively.

Change-over switch for quantum states transfer with topological channels in a circuit-QED lattice

We propose schemes to realize robust quantum states transfer between distant resonators using the topological edge states of a one-dimensional circuit quantum electrodynamics(QED)lattice.Analyses show that the distribution of edge states can be regulated accordingly with the on-site defects added on the resonators.And we can achieve different types of quantum state transfer without adjusting the number of lattices.Numerical simulations demonstrate that the on-site defects can be used as a change-over switch for high-fidelity single-qubit and two-qubit quantum states transfer.This work provides a viable prospect for flexible quantum state transfer in solid-state topological quantum system.

Full Graph Methods of Switched Current Circuit Solution

Circuits with switched current are described by an admittance matrix and seeking current transfers then means calculating the ratio of algebraic supplements of this matrix. As there are also graph methods of circuit analysis in addition to algebraic methods, it is clearly possible in theory to carry out an analysis of the whole switched circuit in two-phase switching exclusively by the graph method as well. For this purpose it is possible to plot a Mason graph of a circuit, use transformation graphs to reduce Mason graphs for all the four phases of switching, and then plot a summary graph from the transformed graphs obtained this way. First the author draws nodes and possible branches, obtained by transformation graphs for transfers of EE （even-even） and OO （odd-odd） phases. In the next step, branches obtained by transformation graphs for EO and OE phase are drawn between these nodes, while their resulting transfer is 1 multiplied by z^1/2. This summary graph is extended by two branches from input node and to output node, the extended graph can then be interpreted by the Mason＇s relation to provide transparent current transfers. Therefore it is not necessary to compose a sum admittance matrix and to express this consequently in numbers, and so it is possible to reach the final result in a graphical way.

平台转移成本与“二选一”协议——基于Hotelling模型的市场垄断行为分析

“二选一”协议是大型平台惯用的维持用户的手段,但协议并不属于“本身违法”行为,如何认定与治理“二选一”垄断是平台反垄断的重难点之一。转移成本是平台内消费者与经营者在选择合作平台时的重要参考因素之一。通过构建平台市场模型,计算不同市场结构下的“二选一”协议对社会福利水平的影响,发现只有平台内用户在退出平台时存在转移成本时,平台企业的“二选一”协议才构成垄断行为。同时,占据份额优势的平台会主动让渡一部分市场份额,以阻止其他小型平台的过度竞争,且让渡份额的大小与转移成本的大小正比例相关。在数字平台市场中,转移成本多以数据要素的形式存在,通过数据可携带权可以实现对“二选一”协议垄断的有效治理。
