This user guide describes the Infineon full-bridge demo board for UPS. The current design considers only the
power section including drivers and power devices with D2packages. D27-pin packages can also be used in this
demo board, which enables users to evaluate the performance of power MOSFETs and their drivers.
Scope and purpose
This document is intended to describe the functionalities of UPS converting DC to AC voltages. Users can then
evaluate the performance of power MOSFETs with gate driver ICs. With Infineon low-R
board can help reduce system cost and time-to-market.
Intended audience
This document addresses the market for UPS manufacturers with the goal of providing a high-performance
system solution at low cost.

The demo board needs two power supplies to provide an input voltage and a bias voltage. The voltages of both
power supplies are typically 12 V, which can be changed based on an application. The outputs can be connected
to a transformer. In this user guide, a transformer is used to get an AC voltage of 220 V with the input voltage of
12 V. In order to power up the demo board, two synchronized PWM signals are needed to control switching of
four power MOSFETs.

1.2Schematic
A schematic of the demo board is shown in Figure 3. In the demo board, four MOSFETs (IRFS7430) are used. D27pin packages can be used if they are desired for evaluation. Two IRS2186 drivers are used to drive four MOSFETs.
Only two PWM signals are needed to control timing of the switching of the four MOSFETs. D1~4 four diodes are
used to have a slow turn-off to avoid high Vdsspike during turn-off.

1.4Power-up procedure
Always connect the bias, two PWM signals and load first, then increase the input voltage from zero.
1.4.1PWM signal selections
This user guide describes a set-up providing a 50 Hz square-wave AC output. Therefore, both PWM signals are
set with 50 Hz. The dead-time between the two legs has to be set high enough that the reset of the transformer
is completed. A shorter dead-time increases total turn-on time, which may saturate the transformer. A value of
0.9 ms was selected to do the tests. Both PWM signals have an amplitude of 10 V.

The average efficiency shown in Table 1 is 96.5 percent at 420 W load. The average total power loss is about 13
W. The reset time for the transformer is about 20 µs, as shown in Figure 9, which is much less than the dead-time
of 700 µs. The MOSFET turn-off waveforms are shown in Figure 10. Since Idswas measured by a Rogowski coil
current probe (C2), its zero level has an offset (I22 = -25 A), as shown in Figure 11. The turn-off switching power
loss can be calculated as:
f(Hz)×∫[()− 22] ∙ ()
= 50 Hz ×|(116 µJ – (25 × 16.7 µ))| = 15 mW.
The turn-off switching power loss for Q2, 3 and 4 is 16, 17 and 13 mW, respectively. Therefore, switching power
losses are negligible.

Figure 6. The corner temperature reading (B) as shown in Figure 13 is 2°C higher than that with the heatsink at
the front in Figure 7. It indicates that the heatsink placed at the front is slightly more effective. Its average
efficiency is 96.4 percent, shown in Table 2, which is 0.1 percent lower than that shown in Table 1 with the
heatsink at the front. The higher efficiency is consistent with lower temperature readings at locations A and B,
shown in Figures 6, 7, 12 and 13.
The PCB temperature readings shown in Figure 12 at locations C and D show 3°C difference, which indicates that
source bond wires result in additional power loss.

1.6Power loss estimations of MOSFETs and CS resistor
Table 3 shows the average R
is 39.2 A. Therefore, the conduction power loss for each MOSFET can be estimated as 39.22× 0.72/2 = 0.55 W,
which is much higher than the switching loss of 15 mW, shown in Figure 11. Based on the total power loss of 13
W, total MOSFET power loss is about 0.55 × 4/13 = 17 percent.
The power loss of the CS resistor can be estimated as 39.22× 1 = 1.5 W. This is about 12 percent of the total power
loss, which explains why it has the highest case temperature.

1.8.1Performance with heatsink at the back with 420 W load
Figure 15 shows temperature readings at the front side with a heatsink at the back. Compared with the readings
shown in Figure 12, the hottest point of the sense resistor is 5°C lower. The PCB reading at point A is 3°C lower,
both top and bottom MOSFETs are 4 to 5°C lower, and at location C the temperature reading is 7°C lower, which
shows that the source bond wires in the D27-pin package result in lower power dissipation. This is consistent with
the higher efficiencies shown in Table 4. Its average is 0.2 percent higher than the example shown in Table 2 with
the same load. Figure 16 also shows lower temperature readings with D27-pin MOSFETs. PCB location B shows
4°C lower temperature and the center 3°C lower than those shown in Figure 13. The lower power dissipation with
D27-pin parts is due to lower R
mΩ lower (11 percent).

1.8.3Performance with heatsink at the front with 500 W
As shown in Table 7, the average efficiency is 97 percent, which is 0.4 percent higher than that with the heatsink
at the back, shown in Table 4. The temperature readings at the middle (47°C) and location A (52°C) shown in
Figure 19 are both higher than those (43°C and 45°C) shown in Figure 6 due to the additional 80 W of load.
With the same load at 500 W, the temperature reading (52°C) at A shown in Figure 19 is higher than that (49°C) in
Figure 17, while the reading (48°C) at B in Figure 20 is lower than that (49°C) in Figure 18. This behavior is
different to that with D2MOSFETs. The reason is that with the D27-pin package more heat can be transferred to
the PCB, which makes the heatsink more effective when it is located at the back. This explains why the efficiency
with the heatsink at the front is the same as that with the heatsink at the back with D27-pin MOSFETs.
