An Optimization Method of a Digital Active Gate Driver Under Continuous Switching Operation Being Capable of Suppressing Surge Voltage and Power Loss in PWM Inverters

This article proposes a new optimization method and its platform for automatically adjusting the control parameters of a digital active gate driver while operating a pulse-width modulation (PWM) inverter. The proposed optimization method applies the searching parameters for some sectors in an ac current cycle and fixed parameters for the other sectors. This enables us to find the optimal operating...
