Description
Summary:In this paper, an embedded stack machine for high voltage Intelligent Power Modules (IPMs) is presented. The proposed architecture is fabricated in TSMCs 0.18μm BCD process alongside a 10-bit SAR ADC, a 10-bit counter based Digital Pulse Width Modulator (DPWM) and an Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) gate driver. The fabricated IC is incorporated into a IGBT based IPM and used to implement a Duty Cycle Correction (DCC) Algorithm to improve output current regulation.
