Abstract This paper presents a fully customised integrated gate commutated thyristor (IGCT) gate driver monolithic integrated circuit (GDMIC), aiming to address the many shortcomings of traditional IGCT gate driver units composed of discrete components, such as the excessive number of components, low reliability, and complex development processes.

Abstract This paper presents a high‐power‐density solid‐state transformer (SST) designed for 25 kV alternative current railway applications, delivering a 3 kV direct current output to traction inverters. The SST is composed of sub‐modules with the adoption of 1.7 kV insulated gate bipolar transistor and SiC metal oxide field effect transistor (MOSFET ...

Study of switching transients in high frequency converters [PDF]
As the semiconductor technologies progress rapidly, the power densities and switching frequencies of many power devices are improved. With the existing technology, high frequency power systems become possible. Use of such a system is advantageous in many

Abstract Epiphytic lichens are especially threatened by accelerated climatic change at high elevations. All lichens are sensitive to atmospheric conditions. Treelines constrain epiphyte ability to migrate upward to follow suitable conditions. Thus, acclimation to changing conditions will likely determine their survival.

Analysis of transistor and snubber turn-off dynamics in high-frequency high-voltage high-power converters [PDF]
Dc to dc converters which operate reliably and efficiently at switching frequencies high enough to effect substantial reductions in the size and weight of converter energy storage elements are studied. A two winding current or voltage stepup (buck boost)

Abstract Silence can be a communicative act. Tanesini (2018) demonstrates how “eloquent” silences can virtuously indicate resistance and dissent; in this paper, I outline one way silence can also be used viciously to cause discursive harm, specifically by slurring victims. By distinguishing between eloquent and “signaling” silences (two kinds of what I
