Abstract:

Gallium nitride (GaN) high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) has the advantages of fast switching speed and low device loss, and is widely used in high frequency applications. In order to further improve the efficiency and power density of the converter, the triangle current mode (TCM) modulation is applied to the single-phase inverter based on GaN device.The full range zero voltage switching (ZVS) is realized by controlling the negative current and dead time, so as to improve the efficiency and power density of the converter. A prototype is built for verification. The experimental results show that TCM modulation can achieve soft switching under different load conditions. The maximum switching frequency can reach 300 kHz, and the peak efficiency can reach 98.5%.

Key words: gallium nitride (GaN), high electron mobility transistor(HEMT), signal phase inverter, triangle current mode (TCM), zero voltage switching (ZVS)
