TIDUES0E June 2019 – April 2024 TMS320F28P550SJ , TMS320F28P559SJ-Q1
As shown in Figure 2-1, the main power stage switching devices of the primary and secondary must block the full input and output DC voltages. SiC switches were chosen for the following reasons:
For this design, 1200-V Cree® devices with on-state resistance of 75 mΩ were used on the primary side, and a 900 V, voltage-blocking Cree device with on-state resistance of 30 mΩ was used in the secondary. Both are four-pin devices with a Kelvin connection for better switching performance. The actual conduction and switching loss calculations are shown in the following sections.
