  • A Fully Soft-Switched AC/DC Converter With ZVT Cell And Magnetic Integration for 800V On-Board Charger

    This paper proposes a fully Soft-switched AC/DC Converter (FSADC) for 800V onboard charger applications. A Zero Voltage Transient (ZVT) cell is integrated into a Bridgeless Boost (BB) PFC to provide soft switching for all the semiconductor devices in the circuit. The main switch turns ON and OFF with Zero Voltage (ZVS), and the main diode turns OFF with Zero Current (ZCS). Since switching loss is eliminated, the proposed converter can operate at high frequencies such as 500kHz. The high-frequency operation enables the use of a PCB winding planar inductor that significantly reduces the volume and cost of the OBC and contributes to efficiency improvements. A snubber inductor is integrated into the main inductor, sharing a portion of the magnetic components that further reduce the volume and cost of the circuit. A 6.6kW prototype with PCB winding integrated planar magnetic is built and tested to prove the superiority of the proposed converter.

  • Peak detection for current balancing of parallel-connected SiC power devices using PCB sensors

    The parallelling of power semiconductor devices is essential for desired current ratings and the system is prone to the current unbalancing due to parameter variations. SiC devices with significant variable threshold voltage due to manufacturing yield and temperature distribution have a consequential possibility of dynamic current unbalancing. This paper presents the peak detection-based current balancing of parallel-connected SiC devices to minimize the turn-on and turn-off current unbalancing. PCB current sensors are used for the measurement and feedback of the signal for this peak detection-based current balancing mechanism.

    This paper proposed an Electrolytic Capacitor-less (Ecap-less) 800V onboard charger (OBC) based on a Half-bridge Split Capacitors Power Decoupling (HSC-PD) circuit. A new design and control method proposed for HSC-PD to minimize the capacitance needed for the dc-link of the OBC enables the deployment of Film capacitors (Fcap) only.

Honors and Awards

  • IEEE Japan Commemorative medal

    IEEE Japan Fukuoka Chapter   The Japan Medal: Commemorative medal to IEEE Domestic Senior Members   2025.02.08

    Ravi Nath Tripathi

     More details

    Country:Japan

    The Japan Medal was established in 2020 and is presented by each Section as a commemorative gift
    to IEEE Domestic Members when they are elevated to Senior Members. It features a Japanese historic
    icon and state-of-the-art technology in electrical engineering. The design is based on a portrait of
    Hiraga Gennai (licensed from the Central Library of Waseda University), pioneer of electrical
    engineering in Japan, and his invention, Elekiter. The Medal is manufactured by the Japan Mint,
    renowned for producing Japanese coins. The Medal utilizes "latent image" technology (where different
    characters are displayed from different angles), a feature originally developed for anti-counterfeiting
    of coins.

    The scientific and technological evolution of state-of- the-art devices since its inception has made a leap in power rating. This ultimately leads to extend the horizon for operating range of a single device considering blocking voltage and current capability. However, higher current/voltage ratings of power devices are required for high power conversion and control Enhancement and optimization of the performance of power semiconductor devices are of fundamental concern, especially for the system consisting of parallel/series connected devices
