Active control of series connected, voltage driven power devices using a single gate drive (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Evans, P., Teerakawanich, N., & Johnson, C. M. (2011). Active control of series connected, voltage driven power devices using a single gate drive. In Proceedings of the 2011 14th European Conference on Power Electronics and Applications

A novel approach for controlling series strings of voltage driven devices (e.g. JFET, MOSFET, IGBT) is presented that allows high voltage switches to be constructed from lower voltage devices. The approach allows controlled voltage sharing under stea... Read More about Active control of series connected, voltage driven power devices using a single gate drive.

Thermal and mechanical design optimization of a pressure-mounted base-plate-less high temperature power module (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mattey, N., Skuriat, R., Li, J., Agyakwa, P., Evans, P., & Mark Johnson, C. (2010, September). Thermal and mechanical design optimization of a pressure-mounted base-plate-less high temperature power module. Presented at 3rd Electronics System Integration Technology Conference ESTC, Berlin, Germany

We discuss the mechanical and thermal design of a high temperature pressure-mounted base-plate-less power module for application in a continuous high temperature (150°C) ambient. The thermal resistance of potential thermal interface materials (TIMs)...
