  1. EE462L, Spring 2014 Implementation of Unipolar PWM Modulation for H-Bridge Inverter (pre-fall 2009 - but discrete components provide a better sense of how this circuit operates)

  2. Either A+ or A – is closed, but never at th e same time Either B+ or B – is closed, but never at the same time ! H-Bridge Inverter Basics – Creating AC from DC Switching rules Vdc A+ B+ Can use identical isolated firing signals for A+, A–, with inverting and non-inverting drivers to turn on, turn off simultaneously Va Vb Load Same idea for B+, B– A – B – The A+, A– firing signal is a scaled version of Va The B+, B– firing signal is a scaled version of Vb The difference in the two firing signals is a scaled version of Vab

  3. ! Vcont > Vtri , close switch A+, open switch A – , so voltage Va = Vdc Vcont < Vtri , open switch A+, close switch A – , so voltage Va = 0 – Vcont > Vtri , close switch B+, open switch B – , so voltage Vb = Vdc – Vcont < Vtri , open switch B+, close switch B – , so voltage Vb = 0 Implementation of Unipolar PWM Vcont is the input signal we want to amplify at the output of the inverter. Vcont is usually a sinewave, but it can also be a music signal. Vcont Vtri −Vcont The implementation rules are: Vtri is a triangle wave whose frequency is at least 30 times greater than Vcont. Ratio ma = peak of control signal divided by peak of triangle wave Ratio mf = frequency of triangle wave divided by frequency of control signal

  4. ! Vload Vdc −Vdc Implementation of Unipolar PWM Modulation for H-Bridge Inverter Progressivelywider pulses at the center (peak of sinusoid) Progressively narrower pulses at the edges Unipolar Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM)

  5. ! The four firing circuits do not have the same ground reference. Thus, the firing circuits require isolation. Vdc (source of power delivered to load) + + A B Local ground Local ground + + reference for A reference for B firing circuit firing circuit S S Load – – A B Local ground Local ground − − reference for A reference for B firing circuit firing circuit S S
