Three Multiterminal Silicon Power Chips for an Optimized Monolithic Integration of Switching Cells: Validation on an H-Bridge Inverter

This article deals with the monolithic integration in silicon of a multiphase static power converter (dc/ac or ac/dc) for medium power applications, from few kilowatts to few tens of kilowatts with power devices' blocking capability in the range of 600-1200 V. This article presents an original three-chip integration approach that combines both monolithic integration in silicon and printed circuit board (PCB) packaging process and takes advantage...
