WARNING
The HIP4082EVAL DC-AC Inverter contains HIGH
VOLTAGE and is a potential shock hazard. USE
CARE when DC power is connected.
Introduction
The advent of the personal computer (PC), has created the
need for uninterruptible power supplies to insulate
computers from line dips and temporary outages that plague
PC reliability. In addition, numerous other applications exist
for DC to AC inverters including small tools or accessories
from a DC battery source in automobiles. There is a need,
too, for providing battery backup in the telephone industry for
20Hz ring generators.
The HIP4082 DC/AC Evaluation Board (subsequently
referred to as the “eval-board”) featuring the HIP4082 is one
way to increase the performance, while reducing cost of DC
to AC conversion. The topology chosen uses the HIP4082 to
provide a 60kHz, low voltage, square-wave to drive a small
isolation power transformer. The output of this transformer is
rectified, filtered, and the high voltage inverted again to
produce the desired low frequency (55Hz) output waveform.
(55Hz was chosen as a compromise between the 50Hz and
60Hz power standards.) A variable duty-cycle quasi-square-
wave output waveform was chosen over a sinusoidal
waveform for simplicity and cost-effectiveness. The 60kHz
frequency of the primary-side inverter minimizes cost
and size of the transformer, while the square-wave
output waveform minimizes the size of the secondary-side
rectifier filter.
Designers will provide modifications necessary to customize
the Evaluation Board for their specific applications.
HIP4082 Features
The combined features of the HIP4082 make it ideal for
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), motor control, full
bridge power supply and switching power amplifier
applications. Switching power amplifier applications utilize
switching frequencies up to 200kHz.
The HIP4082 is an 80V N-Channel MOSFET Driver IC that
independently drives four N-Channel MOSFETs in a full
H-Bridge configuration. Whereas the HIP4082 is very similar
to the HIP4081A MOSFET driver, it is different in the
following important ways:
? The HIP4082 peak output drive current is 1.25A, which
reduces the need for adding series gate resistors when
driving medium to large MOSFETs.
? Only one delay time setting resistor is needed to adjust
dead-time when using the HIP4082. Proper dead-time
adjustment avoids simultaneous MOSFET conduction
when switching from an upper MOSFET to a lower
MOSFET or vice-versa. It is the time period between turn-
off of an upper MOSFET gate, to turn-on of a lower
MOSFET gate and vice versa.
? The HIP4082 incorporates no charge pump, further
reducing size and cost. The dead-time setting resistor
connected between the DEL and V SS pins provides
possible dead-time settings from 0.1 μ s to 4.5 μ s thereby
extending the dead-time range provided by the HIP4080A
and HIP4081A ICs.
? The HIP4082 provides continuous on/off level-shift drive
signals for the upper MOSFETs. This eliminates concerns
that some users, particularly from the UPS industry, have
regarding poorer noise immunity of latched on/off upper
MOSFET gate control. Continuous on/off level-shift drive
signals for the upper MOSFETs results in slightly greater
power dissipation than latched gate drives. When an
upper MOSFET is turned off the common (phase)
connection between upper and lower MOSFETs falls
almost immediately to the ground potential, reducing the
voltage impressed across the level-shift transistor. Level-
shift power becomes significant only when an upper
MOSFET body diode current maintains the AHS and BHS
pins at the high voltage rail potential. This situation arises
only when freewheeling current keeps one of the upper
MOSFET body diodes conducting even though the gate
command for that MOSFET is off. This can happen when
a user directs freewheeling current to conduct in the upper
two bridge switches. It is better to direct all freewheeling
currents to flow in the lower two MOSFETs or their
associated body diodes, and minimize level-shift power
dissipation within the HIP4082. The level-shift power when
utilizing bottom circulation (freewheeling) is the product of
the level-shift current and the relatively low V DD (12V)
potential (not the high voltage bus potential).
? The HIP4082 is packaged in compact, 16 pin PDIP and
narrow body SOIC packages.
Design Summary
This DC-AC Inverter design presents one approach to
regulating the output voltage, protecting the inverter from
overcurrents and reducing output voltage when benign
overcurrents would tend to cause the system to overheat. A
neon light even warns users of high voltage when the unit is
energized.
The eval-board design shows how easy it is to design
inverters using the HIP4082. The eval-board is not the only
answer to UPS or portable battery inverter implementation.
The eval-board includes two inverters. The primary inverter
uses the HIP4082 to convert the 12V battery potential to
approximately 160V DC through transformer isolation. The
