General-purpose mobile robotic platform with hybrid power module for educational purpose

A high-temperature silicon carbide power module using CMOS gate drive technology and discrete power devices is presented. The power module was aged at 200V and 300 °C for 3,000 hours in a long-term reliability test. After the initial increase, the variation in the rise time of the module is 27% (49.63ns@1,000h compared to 63.1ns@3,000h), whilst the fall time increases by 54.3% (62.92ns@1,000h compared to 97.1ns@3,000h). The unique assembly enables the integrated circuits of CMOS logic with passive circuit elements capable of operation at temperatures of 300°C and beyond.

Control Application

Motor control application, especially for medium to high power implementation, will benefit the most with the compactness and robustness of an Integrated Power Module of Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor also known as IGBT IPM. Nevertheless, implementation motor control with a general purpose micro-processor without any advance timer functionality with IGBT IPM will be challenged by the Dead-Time switching requirement in its power switching implementation. Further, a combined sinusoidal and trapezoidal drive of a motor control is also believed will provides a better control performance in term of lower torque ripple and higher motor top speed. This paper proposed a low-cost alternative to address the requirement by implementing a software based dead time functionality using the low cost 16-bit micro controller board with capability of serving up sinusoidal drive as well as trapezoidal drive for motor control application.
