ESBTTM Transistor Used in Zero Voltage Quasi Resonant Con- verter in Induction Cooking Applications
Abstract: ESBTTM is composed of a high voltage bipolar transistor and a low voltage power MOSFET with a low on-state resistance. The two devices are connected by a common generation common base amplifier (CASCODE) structure.The main advantages of this solution are fast turn-off and low pressure drop during conduction.Because of these characteristics, the ESBTTM series represents an ideal solution for conventional switching applications with full or quasi resonant converters. 1 the Introduction The recently launched ESBTTM (Emitter Switch Bipolar Transistor) is a new line of electrical actuators that are a valuable cost effective solution for applications requiring high voltage and high switching frequencies.This...
