Group number:
Group member:
Date:
1. Device introduction
Necessary device information needed before DPT circuit design
2. DPT key components design and control
2.1. Load inductor
Please depend on the core and winding provided in the lab
2.2. DC source
2.3. DC capacitor bank
2.3.1. Energy storage capacitor
2.3.2. Decoupling capacitor
2.4. Bleeder resistor
2.5. Double-pulse control duration as a function of operating conditions
Four operation conditions (min dc voltage + min load current; min dc voltage + max load
current; max dc voltage + min load current; max dc voltage + max load current)
3. Gate drive design
3.1. Signal isolator
3.2. Isolated power supply
3.3. Gate drive IC (gate drive IC may include signal isolator, if so, please make it clear)
3.4. Gate resistor
3.5. Decoupling capacitor
4. Preferred group implementation plan with reasoning
It is okay or even recommended to have different plans within the group
