Dual Converter: Working, Modes and Types An Overview of Dual Converters

In the previous tutorial, we saw how a Dual Power Supply Circuit is designed. Now, we learn about Dual Converters, which can convert AC to DC and DC to AC at the same time. As the name suggests, Dual Converter has two converters, one converter works as a rectifier (Converts AC to DC) and the other converter works as an inverter (converts DC into AC). Both converters are…

High voltage power driver SiP for industrial motor applications High voltage power driver SiP for industrial motor applications

STMicroelectronics introduced a high-density power driver PWD5F60 intended to be used in high-voltage brushed DC and single-phase brushless motor applications. It integrates a 600V/3.5A single-phase MOSFET bridge with gate drivers, bootstrap diodes, protection features, and two comparators in a 15mm x 7mm outline. The thermally efficient system-in-package occupies…
