We previously mentioned that electric power converters operate in switch mode. Now, we will explore the real-world implementation of power electronic switches—key components in SMPS (Switch-Mode Power Supplies)—and how to control them efficiently. Additionally, we will compare different types of electronic switches, with a focus on the isolation requirements of DC–DC converters and handling high current. By “power electronic switch,” we refer to transistors or semiconductors that operate in two distinct states: ON or OFF. This binary operation is their primary function, distinguishing them from semiconductors used for linear amplification. Currently, the market offers various types of power semiconductors, each significantly affecting performance and efficiency.

摘要

We previously mentioned that electric power converters operate in switch mode. Now, we will explore the real-world implementation of power electronic switches—key components in SMPS (Switch-Mode Power Supplies)—and how to control them efficiently. Additionally, we will compare different types of electronic switches, with a focus on the isolation requirements of DC–DC converters and handling high current. By “power electronic switch,” we refer to transistors or semiconductors that operate in two distinct states: ON or OFF. This binary operation is their primary function, distinguishing them from semiconductors used for linear amplification. Currently, the market offers various types of power semiconductors, each significantly affecting performance and efficiency.
