SYNCHRONOUS REVERSE BLOCKING SWITCH FOR SOFT-SWITCHING CURRENT SOURCE CONVERTERS AND SOFT-SWITCHING CURRENT SOURCE CONVERTERS INCLUDING THE SAME

摘要

A synchronous reverse blocking switch for a soft-switching current source converter (SSCSC), the switch comprising: a first controlled switch; a second controlled switch connected in series to the first controlled switch; and a delay generation circuit configured to control: the second controlled switch to turn on after a delay (t_dON) from the first controlled switch turning on, and the second controlled switch to turn off after a delay (t_dOFF) from the first controlled switch turning off.
