TIDA-010954
600W GaN-based single-phase cycloconverter reference design
TIDA-010954
Overview
This reference design implements a 600W bidirectional single-stage DC-AC inverter based on cycloconverter (AC-DAB) topology and TI GaN power stages. The design supports up to 60V and ±16A on the DC side and on the single-phase, 230VAC and 2.6A. The inverter supports bidirectional power flow and can be used for various applications, such as a solar micro inverter or Battery Energy Storage System (BESS).
Features
- Single stage DC-AC and AC-DC converter for photovoltaic (PV) or BESS application
- Bidirectional power flow and reactive power compensation capable
- Digital control implemented in a single controller: TMS320F28P55x
- Industrial temperature range of –40°C to +85°C
