EE682 - Group Project Design: Prof. Ali Keyhani Lecture On Design of A Static Switching

This document outlines the design steps for a static switching circuit using a D62T transistor. Key steps include: 1. Selecting the D62T transistor to switch 125V at 100kHz, with on-state losses of 114W. 2. Performing thermal analysis showing a junction temperature of 150C meets requirements, with heat sinks raising case temperature 80C above ambient. 3. Calculating switching losses of 57W and an average 8C higher junction temperature during switching.

Prof. Ali Keyhani


Lecture on Design of a Static Switching
Design Steps
1. Select a switching transistor;
2. Analyze to determine maximum steady state and transient
device voltage and current over expected range of
operating conditions;
3. Thermal analysis to establish the worst-case device
junction temperature
4. Study transistor data sheet
• Only worst-case data are published
• Contacting application engineers of device
manufacturers
Low Frequency Design
1. Switching losses are small
• This is the case for static switch, choppers, buck
converters
• Switching device is on and off for a short period
Example
Requirements:
• Supply voltage 125 V
• Load R = 1.3 Ω
D62T
C E
125 V B 1.3 Ω

Transistor selection:
D62T: 400-500 V switch, frequency of switching = 100 kHz

Is this a good selection?


Example
No ! It is not economical. Since D62T can switch of 400-
500V.
However ! It is a good choice since the thermal losses are
low due to operating at 125 V.

Assumptions:
• Off-state losses are small;
• Base drive losses are not very small, but they are
considerable smaller than that of on-state;
• Base driver losses are neglected;
• Switch is on for a long time.
Assumptions
1. No second breakdown limitation
2. Negligible off-state losses
3. Negligible base drive losses
4. VCE(sat) = 1.2 V, IB1 = 20 A
IB1 is the on-state drive current (see data sheets) with
junction temperature of 150oC
On-state Circuit
1.2 V

C E
B
125 V 1.3 Ω

Continuous on-state losses (PT) in the switch is

125 − 1.2
PT = ×1.2 = 114.28W
1.3
On-state Circuit
From data sheet, the thermal resistance from junction-to-sink
for double-sided cooling is 0.14 oC/W
The junction-to-sink temperature different is

∆T js = Rθjs × PT = 0.14 ×114.28 = 16 o C


Temperature rise

Fig 2P-2 indicates that with two of the smaller heat sinks,
curve (b) for double-sided cooling, the sink-to-ambient
temperature rise would be approximately 80oC with 114.28-
W dissipation in switch.
Temperature rise
Therefore with an ambient temperature of 54oC, the junction
temperature (Tj) is

T j = TA + ∆T js + ∆TsA
= 54 o + 16 o + 80 o = 150o C
T j ≤ 150 Co
Design OK.
Switching Losses
Assume an on-period of 10 ms and a 50-percent duty cycle.

ion = (125 − 1.2) / 1.3 = 95.23 A


Static switch

ion = 95.23 A 5ms 10ms

Low frequency chopper


Switching Losses
The switching losses for chopper is

= 1.2 × 95.23 × = 57.14W

The junction-to-sink “average” temperature is

∆T js = Rθjs × PT = 0.14 × 57.4 = 8 C o


Transient Variation of Junction Temperature
Calculation of the transient variation of junction temperature:

A step-input of power equal to the on-state loss occurs at the


beginning of each switching period, and an equal but
negative step-input of power takes place at the end if each
on-interval.
Transient Variation of Junction Temperature
Transient Variation of Junction Temperature
The initial transient variation in the junction temperature,
which is calculated as:

∆T jC (1ms ) = ZθjC (1ms ) × 114.28W


= 0.003o C / W × 114.28W = 0.34 o C

∆T jC (3ms ) = ZθjC (3ms ) ×114.28W


= 0.0045 C / W ×114.28W = 0.51 C
o o
Transient Variation of Junction Temperature

∆T jC (5 ms ) = 0.006 C / W ×114.28W = 0.69 C


o o

∆T jC (8 ms ) = [ ZθjC (8 ms ) − ZθjC (3ms ) ] × 114.28W


= (0.0075 − 0.0045) C / W ×114.28W = 0.34 C
o o

∆T jC (10 ms ) = [ ZθjC (10 ms ) − ZθjC ( 5 ms ) ] ×114.28W


= (0.0085 − 0.006) o C / W × 114.28W = 0.29o C
Fig 2-15 (b) shows the transient temperature.
The steady state junction temperature may be obtained by
continuously the process till reaching steady state.
