Abstract

A control device for a power semiconductor switch includes an actuating device, which on a third control device terminal, upon the reception of a switching on command, generates an actuating voltage for the switching on of the power semiconductor switch and, upon the reception of an switching off command, generates an actuating voltage for the switching off of the power semiconductor switch, and a current detection circuit, which generates a first high-current signal if an actuating voltage assumes a voltage value at which the power semiconductor switch is switched on, and a primary voltage of the power semiconductor switch applied between first and second control device terminals exceeds a first power semiconductor switch primary voltage value. The actuating device, upon the reception of an switching off command, generates an actuating voltage for the switching off of the power semiconductor switch, such that the actuating voltage is reduced such that the time interval elapsing between a first actuating voltage value, assumed by the actuating voltage upon the reception of the switching off command, and the achievement of a second actuating voltage value of the actuating voltage, which is equal to 10% of the first actuating voltage value, is greater in the presence of the first high-current signal than in the absence of the first high-current signal.

Abstract

A control device for a power semiconductor switch, has a first, second and third electrical control device terminal, and a control device that according to a control signal generates an actuation voltage on the third control device terminal and actuates the power semiconductor switch. An overcurrent detection circuit determines a first voltage corresponding to a primary power semiconductor switch voltage present between the first and second control device terminals and, if the first voltage, further to commence the generation of an actuation voltage for a switch-on of the power semiconductor switch, and if the voltage exceeds a reference voltage, to generate an overcurrent detection signal. A blocking circuit blocks the output of the overcurrent detection signal from the overcurrent detection circuit, if a control current flowing in the third control device terminal for the actuation of the power semiconductor switch exceeds a first current value and/or is designed to block the output of the overcurrent detection signal from the overcurrent detection circuit, if the actuation voltage is smaller than a first voltage value.

Abstract

A power semiconductor circuit comprising a field effect transistor having a drain, a source and a gate as terminals, and further comprising a control device having a drive device and an undervoltage detection circuit. The drive device drives the field effect transistor and is electrically connected to the gate of the field effect transistor. The undervoltage detection circuit generates an undervoltage detection signal if a power semiconductor voltage present between the drain and the source of the field effect transistor falls below a specific voltage value. The drive device switches on the field effect transistor when a switch-on command for switching on the field effect transistor and the undervoltage detection signal are present. The invention provides a power semiconductor circuit with low energy loss.

Abstract

The device according to the invention is used to cool a flat object (2) with a first main surface (200) and a second main surface (202) lying opposite the first main surface in a nonhomogeneous manner. The flat object is cooled from the direction of the first main surface by a cooling device (1). A heating device (4) locally acts on a first sub-surface (204) of the second main surface such that the flat object is supplied with heat at said first sub-surface relative to a second sub-surface (206) adjoining the first sub-surface in such a manner that the first sub-surface is cooled slower than the second sub-surface, and thus the second main surface of the flat object has a nonhomogeneous temperature distribution at least during a sub-time period of the cooling process.

Abstract

A power electronic system with a cooling device, and a method for producing the system, comprising a plurality of submodules, each submodule having a first planar insulating material body, one first conductor track cohesively connected thereto, one power switch arranged on the conductor track, at least one internal connecting device composed of an alternate layer sequence of at least one electrically conductive film and at least one electrically insulating film, wherein at least one electrically conductive layer forms at least one second conductor track, and comprising external connection elements. In this case, the submodules are arranged cohesively or in a force-locking manner and in a manner spaced apart from one another with their first main surface on the cooling device. At least one second conductor track at least partially covers first conductor tracks of two submodules, electrically connects them to one another and covers an interspace between the submodules.

Abstract

A method for the repetitive transmission of a signal representing a binary value via a transformer section of a driver of a power semiconductor. Transmitting for the first value a first pulse packet as a sequence of a positive pulse and a negative pulse or for the second value a second pulse packet as a sequence of a negative pulse and a positive pulse to the input of the transformer. The respective pulse packets are repetitively fed to the transformer, one of the first value and the second value is detected at the output of the transformer from the sequence of the polarity of an output variable within a transmitted pulse packet.

Abstract

The invention, which relates to a method for regulating a centre voltage, is based on the object of specifying a method which implements simplified centre regulation, allows a reduction in the outlay of hardware and software components and hence can be used inexpensively. This object is achieved by measuring the intermediate circuit capacitor voltages and ascertaining the centre voltage from these measured voltages, and taking the position of the centre voltage as a basis for shifting the timing of the switch-on and/or switch-off edges of the switching voltage, the absolute value and direction of the shift being dependent on the position of the centre voltage.

Abstract

A solar module has a solar cell which generates a DC voltage. The module has a converter for converting a DC voltage fed into its input. The module contains a semiconductor switch and a controller which drives a switching input of the semiconductor switch. The controller drives the semiconductor switch variably so that the semiconductor switch switches more slowly during the transition operation than during normal operation, thereby reducing a dynamic overvoltage on the switch such that the voltage present on the switch does not exceed the blocking voltage of the switch.
