In the end of the presentation you have shown in halfbridge configuration there is negative voltage peak has seen ,but it can be eliminated using series resistor to save the driver. There is an alternative way to save that using TVS diode to clamp the negative transient, without inserting a resistor in the path....and than k you for your wonderful presentation as always.

Thanks for participation and contributing,. Indeed, the peak can be chopped but the purpose in video was to show the implication's when a resistor is added.

Incredible video! I have one question. When calculating the gate current, will it be more accurate to consider the Miller Plateau voltage instead of the threshold voltage?

@sambenyaakov 2 жыл бұрын

When gm is high, as typical of power transistors, the threshold and Miller plateau voltages are about the same.

Great video, this help new people in energy electronics safe a lot of time. I have one question about gate charge circuit, many time I saw resistor between gate and source (most popular 10kohm). I thing this is useless element if we use dedicated driver for mosfet, but nice to know your opinion about this element.

@sambenyaakov 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Marcin, thanks for participating. The function of the parallel resistor is to provide a low impedance, sort of ESD protection and bleeding of leakage current of gate. Indeed, when there is a driver it is supposed to provide the low impedance path. But...if the auxiliary power supply is off? the impedance might be high and EMI might turn on or even damage the gate. And more severely if one applies the high voltage to power transistor (with no auxiliary power to driver) ,the spike via the "Miller" cap might be a problem.

Hello, Prof. Are you suggesting that the threshold voltage of the FET and Miller plateau voltage of the FET are equal? In my limited understanding, the miller plateau voltage is greater than or equal to the threshold voltage.

@sambenyaakov 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for participation and input. The plateau is at voltage that needed to sustain the current during transition. Since the gm curve is rather fast rising the difference from Vt is small.

Thank you professor, this is the best explanation about gate resistors in the internet. However, i have a question sir. How to determine the turn-on time to avoid the reverse-recovery? is there any range for that?

@sambenyaakov 3 жыл бұрын

Reverse recovery is a function of the forward current and dI/d Hence, for a gives forward diode current the way to reduces di/dt. One way is by slowing down the turn on of the complementary transistor.

Hi Professor. I have one question during test in the labo when using Mosfet SIC NVHL160N120SC1 for the full bridge ; For the commad Vgs (-5V & 20V), during turn on, there is Peak Voltage found on the Vgs , which can be higher than 25V; So there is risk to destroy the Mosfet due to limited max 25V from the datasheet; I do the simulations and this peak voltage on the Vgs coming from the stray indutace of the pins of TO247 ( NVHL160N120SC1); My solution is to increase Rgon value to slow the switching on ; do you think is a good way? thanks

@sambenyaakov 2 жыл бұрын

I do not think that the reason is inductance in package, probabely the traces. Yes, adding R reduces Q and hence damps oscillation - at the expense of a slower drive and higher switching losses.

Thank you for your great work i think RG of mosfet(that write value in datasheet of each mosfet) must use for external resistor switch on and off true ?

@@sambenyaakov I think we must add RG in data sheet to external resistor that find with equation so If RG is 2ohm and we find Ron resistor 12, better use 10ohm in circuit and if for roff if find with equation 4ohm, good choise for roff external is 2ohm Ron(from equation)=Ron(external)+RG Roff(from equation)=Roff(external)+RG

I now understand that by RG you meant the internal gate résistance. Strictly speaking you are right but in practice, the other inaccuracies make the precise calculation meaningless.

In some books it is written that the gate resistance is used to dampen the oscillations caused by the junction capacitance and the stray inductance. I am curious that how is the presented theory in harmony with this statement. Thank you

@sambenyaakov 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for bringing up a very good point which I have not covered in video. The problem of oscillation is in parallel the issues I have discussed and stems from the fact that the drive lines have a stray inductance. Resistance will dampen the oscillation if the quality factor Q is reduced to about 1 or below.

Thank you professor for the video. I have question. How about putting the resistor only on the source pin? but not in the gate. ie at 19:34 remove the Rm and replace by Rson and Rsin.

@sambenyaakov Жыл бұрын

There is a need for separate Ron and Roff for each transistor because parallel connection of MOSFETs is not desirable due to Vth spread.

Hi Profesor. In minute 13:43 you said (8-0.5)/1 give us 7A. But what with this 10R resistor?, he will not play in current value? If we will take large amount of current from this two capacitors, the have ESR and he will not decrease amplitude of current? As always thank you for very educational video

@justpaulo 3 жыл бұрын

The capacitors start charged at 8V. That is why the 10R resistor is there - to charge them initially. So the initial current (8-0.5)/1 comes from the capacitors and goes down tending to ~(1.18-0.5)/1 = (8-1.18)/10, and in that case the current comes from the 8V supply. ESR could have an impact, but you can get good caps with ESR in the order of 0.1 ohm.

@sambenyaakov 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for input.

@sambenyaakov 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for participation. The pulse is short so the voltage on capacitor barely changes (ESR is small compared to internal resistance of driver). The function on the 10R is to charge/discharge the cap during the rest duration.

Hello professor, I have a question about this moment shown in the video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d9dhfNpnp9-8cas.html. I understand that delta time refers to the voltage rise time of the VGS and not the fall time VDS. In the case where we assume the fall time for the voltage VDS, we will use the charge accumulated in the plateau region in the equation. Am I right?

@sambenyaakov 2 жыл бұрын

The time of the plateau IS the fall time of Vds

At 3:43 you say: (Paraphrasing here) "Before Q1 is turned on, Q2 was turned on. Current was flowing through Q2. Then, Q2 is turned off, and we start a dead time. This will cause Q2s parasitic diode to forward bias." If, Q2 was conducting, that means the switching node was positive (+HV). So when Q2 is turned off, the switching node will go negative to keep the current going in the same direction. That means Q1s parasitic diode with forward bias, not Q2s. We then proceed to turn on Q1 once the dead time is over. Could you help me out reasoning how Q2s diode get forward biased after Q2 is turned off? Wouldn't it be Q1s diode that forward biases?

@sambenyaakov 2 жыл бұрын

"the switching node will go negative to keep the current going in the same direction." Not so. The current is maintained same direction by D2. To self commutate the mid point voltage you have to charge the parasitic capcitor with a current of OPPOSITE direction. Thanks for intertest. capacitors
