Abstract: A hybrid mobile power supply is developed based on air-cooled Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) and lithium battery. Pure fuel cell provides a rated output of 25W. With the assistance of lithium battery, the system provides instantaneous power of 50W. The system consists of fuel cell and its controller, lithium battery and its management circuit, power switching circuit, system control circuit and DC/DC convert circuit. The system is designed and realized, the measurement results show that the system works steadily below 50W.

Abstract: Doubly-implanted SiC vertical MOSFETs were fabricated displaying a blocking voltage of 4.2kV and a specific on-resistance of 23 mΩ-cm2, on a 4.5mm x 2.25mm device. Design variations on smaller (1.1mm x 1.1mm) devices showed on-resistance as low as 17 mΩ-cm2 with a blocking voltage of 3.3kV. Analysis is presented of the on-resistance and temperature dependence (up to 175°C), as well as switching performance. Switching tests taken at 1000V and 6A showed turn-on and turn-off transients of approximately 20-40ns.

Abstract: The development of large area, up to 70m/1kV (0.45cm x 0.45cm) 4H-SiC vertical DMOSFETs is presented. DC and switching characteristics of high-current, 100Amp All-SiC power switching modules are demonstrated using 0.45cm x 0.225cm DMOSFET die and commercial Schottky diodes. The switching performance from room temperature up to T=200°C of the All-SiC modules is presented, with as much as ten times lower losses than co-fabricated Si-based modules using commercial IGBTs.
