Title:
FIVE-LEVEL CONVERTER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/119407
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed is a five-level converter, comprising four switching tubes with drains and sources connected with each other in series. Driving signals of the switching tubes are all controlled by a unified clock. The switching tube S2 always starts to be switched on within a short period of time before the switching tube S1 is switched on, and starts to be switched off within a short period of time after the switching tube S1 is switched off. The switching tube S3 always starts to be switched on within a short period of time before the switching tube S4 is switched on, and starts to be switched off within a short period of time after the switching tube S4 is switched off. The converter reduces voltage stress between the drains and the sources of the various switching tubes by controlling the time sequence of the switching on and switching off of the various switching tubes, and can realize a uniform voltage without a pre-charging process, thus the advantages of a traditional five-level converter can be maintained; moreover, nonuniform voltage stress is not present in the switching tubes during a circuit starting process, and the voltage stress of the various switching tubes can be naturally balanced and reduced.
