Hello,
I am building my prototype motor controller for a pmsm motor and i am following the infineon 22kw inverter reference design. In that design i have some doubts regarding the isolated gate driver power supply. I make a pcb for that module but i am not getting proper output . ( I bypassed the STO and gave 15 V to the 50% duty IC) .Can
someone explain that half bridge converter configuration used in the ref design, it will be very helpful for me
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi,
Topology shown in the schematic is a typical half bridge configuration.
If you see the Fig. above, positive of the transformer is connected to switches and neutral is connected to mid point of the DC supply (V = 7.5V). When the Q1 is on positive of transformer primary wdg would be connected to 15V and when Q2 is on same would be connected to GND. Considering the transformer ratio 1 : 1.2 : 1.2 Voltage level across N2 & N3 will be a little higher. you will get voltage waveforms as shown in below fig.
Now secondary side circuit will function as a rectifier only, where you will get a stiff DC voltage at the output.
I am also attaching the waveforms of secondary side, where green trace is transformer sec voltage, blue trace is voltage across D3 & D5 and red is the output voltage i.e. VCC_WH, VCC_VH, VCC_L & VCC_UH

From the ref design i am supposed to get 15 V across the four output terminals right? I build the circuit and i am getting 17 V across the output terminals . Is that expected or if i want to get 15 V should i use a 1:1:1 transformer
Thanks for the detailed reply
Is it possible to get the ltspice model of this circuit. I have been trying to simulate it but i couldnt get the spice model of the 50% duty cycle driver ic

Hi,
Transformer ratio of 1 : 1.2 : 1.2 has been taken to overcome the voltage drop due to transformer leakage inductance and forward diode drop. However you can choose a specific transformer ratio based on your circuit requirement.
The half bridge driver AUIR2085S is almost ten years old product thus no one bothered to create a spice model for it, even though you can simulate the circuit behavior by generating a 50% duty cycle pulses at your desired frequency.
