This paper provides an analysis on the design, implementation and operation of Bi-Directional Switches (BDS) based on power semiconductor devices intended to replace Electro Mechanical Relays (EMR) in home appliances. Static and dynamic characterizations of test vehicles developed using different power device semiconductor technologies (TRIAC, Super Junction (SJ) MOSFET, IGBT_) are presented. At this...
Gallium Nitride High-Electron-Mobility Transistors (GaN HEMTs) are promising devices for high-frequency and high-power density converters, but some of their applications (e.g., motor drives) require high robustness levels. In this scenario, 600 V normally-off p-GaN gate HEMTs are studied under Short-Circuit (SC) by experiment and physics-based simulations (drift-diffusion and thermodynamic models)...
The numerous limitations of Electro Mechanical Relays (EMRs) for implementing Single-Pole, Single-Throw (SPST) Bi-Directional Switches (BDS) lead to new developments based on power semiconductor devices. This work gives an insight into the design and operation of BDSs based on the combination of unidirectional voltage blocking and bidirectional current conduction power devices, which aim to substitute...
