    Mobility and versatility have become a must for

    the fast-paced society today. People can no longer afford to be tied down to a fixed power sourcelocation when using their equipments. Overcoming the obstacle of fixed power has led to the

    invention of DC/AC power inverters. While the position of power inverter in the market is

    relatively well established, there are several features that can be improved upon.

    A comparison analysis of the different power inverter

    has been compiled. Aside from the differences in power wattage, cost per wattage, efficiency and

    harmonic contend, power inverters can be categorized into three groups: square wave, modified

    sine wave, and pure sine wave. A cost analysis of the different types of inverter shows that sine

    wave power inverter, though has the best power quality performance, has a big spike in cost per

    unit power. Another feature which can be improved is the efficiency of the inverter. The standardsine wave in the market has an average efficiency of 85-90%. Power dissipated due to efficiency

    flaws will be dissipated as heat and the 10-15% power lost in the will shorten operational

    lifespan of inverters. The quality of the output power could also be improved. It is imperative

    that the output signal be as clean as possible. Distortion in the output signal leads to less efficient

    output and in the case of a square wave , which has a lot of unwanted harmonics, it will damage

    some sensitive equipment.

    In designing any type of power supply, it is important to examine the

    intended market and place the product in a particular niche market. Our market niche will be todesign a 300watts power inverter that will provide optimum pure sine wave performance with

    minimal cost. In meeting the design requirements, there are several technical challenges thatmust be overcome. Our single, most difficult constraint will be to produce power at a lower

    power per unit cost than exists in the market. Our efficiency will be greater than 90 percent. Thisinsures that, with a maximum load, less than 10% of power will be dissipated as heat. The total

    harmonic distortion will be less than 5 percent. With a total harmonic distortion this low and apure sine wave output, we will be able to power even the most sensitive loads.

    The fundamental step in approaching the challenges was to examine the methods used byexisting companies for building power inverters. In examining their methods, many areas were

    open for potential improvement. These areas include the DC/DC step up converter, the DC/ACinverter, and the feedback control system.

    The DC/DC step up converter in our design will use a high frequency

    transformer, enabling us to reduce the size of the converter considerably. The use of a highfrequency transformer will also enable us to meet our efficiency constraint. A high switchingfrequency will improve the efficiency of the inverter. In theory, a 100 percent efficient converter

    could be created. However, due to the limitations of actual device material, our efficiency will bebetween 90 and 100 percent. The DC/AC inverter circuit will use a microprocessor to digitally

    pulse the transistors. This will allow us to produce a pure sine wave output. This feature will alsoallow us to enter other markets more easily. For instance, in Europe the fundamental frequency is

    50 Hz. The frequency can be changed from 60 Hz to 50 Hz by simply editing the source code.

    The feedback control system will be used to regulate the output voltage of the DC/DC converter.This is necessary since the current will vary will the load. The feedback control

    system will be accomplished using by sampling the output with an integrated circuit.Most of the design constraints set for the inverter were met. However, the one important

    constraint which the power inverter didnt meet was the 300W continuous power, which was

    probably because of the transformer and the traces on the PCB. The inverter produces a cleansine wave with 7% of harmonic distortion and has efficiency greater than 90%. Overall, it is awell designed project and a lot has been accomplished over the two semesters. This design if

    well marketed, will offer the power inverter market a premium product at a lower cost thanbefore. Future work could be done to further improve efficiency, total harmonic distortion, and

    size. With these additional improvements, the standard could be raised forfuture DC/AC power supplies.

    DC-AC inverters are electronic devices used to produce mains

    voltage. AC power from low voltage DC energy mains voltage. AC power from low voltage DCenergy(from a battery or solar panel). This makes them very suitable for when you need to use

    AC power tools or appliances but the usual AC mains power is not available. Examples includeoperating appliances in caravans and mobile homes, and also running audio, video and

    computing equipment in remote areas.Most inverters do their job by performing two main functions:

    first they convert the incoming DC into AC, and then they step up the resulting AC to mains

    voltage level using a transformer. And the goal of the designer is to have the inverter performthese functions as efficiently as possible .so that as much as possible of the energy drawn from

    the battery or solar panel is converted into mains voltage AC, and as little as possible is wastedas heat.

    By switching the two MOSFETs on alternately, the current is madeto flow first in one half of the primary and then in the other, producing an alternating magnetic

    flux in the transformers core. As a result a corresponding AC voltage is induced in thetransformers secondary winding, and as the secondary has about 10 times the number of turns in

    the primary, the induced AC voltage is much higher: around 170V peak to peak.

    Note that because the switching MOSFETs are simply beingturned on and off, this type of inverter does not produce AC of the same pure sinewave. type as

    the AC power mains. The output waveform is essentially alternating rectangular pulses. However

    the width of the pulses and the spacing between them is chosen so that the ratio between theRMS value of the output waveform and its peak-to-peak value is actually quite similar to that ofa pure sine wave. The resulting wave form is usually called a .modified sine wave., and as the

    RMS voltage is close to 230V many AC tools and appliances are able to operate from such awaveform without problems.

    There are several factors involving power that can be easily overlooked by the average person.These issues deal primarily with efficiency but are not limited to it. First, the amount of power

    consumed by the load must be looked at. Different devices call for different power wattages.Because of this fact, our inverter would not be able to power larger devices that require a lot of

    power. This does not affect the efficiency of our device; it is just one of its limitations. Next, thesensitivity of the load being driven should be considered. This means the output signal of the

    inverter must provide a cleaner signal without distortion for more sensitive devices. The amountof undesired harmonics present in our output signal would need to be limited.

    2.1 :Our five technical design constraints are shown in Table 1. These design constraints will rely heavily on

    the pure sine wave output. A pure sine wave output will be obtained through the use of a microprocessor

    and high frequency switching.

    The DC/AC power inverter being built will be driven using 12 VDC. It will thenconvert this DC voltage in to a functional 120 VAC power source. This power source will be capable of

    supplying 300 watts of continuous power and 600 watts of peak power. The output obtained will be as

    close as possible to a pure sine wave signal. As mentioned before, the major factor in power is efficiency.

    This is directly related to the output signal of the power supply. Due to this fact, it is extremely criticalthat the output be as close to a pure sine wave as possible. Most power inverters do not produce a pure

    sine wave output, and their performance is a reflection of that fact.

    This power inverter will operate using high frequency switching technology. Theharmonics that are produced using high frequency switching will include those near the range of the

    switching frequency, and those that are of a relatively higher order than the 60 Hz frequency. Most of the

    harmonics will be the ones that are higher in order than the 60 Hz frequency. These harmonics can beisolated using a small low-pass filter. This translates into a much cleaner output signal. The powerinverter will produce an output signal that contains no more than 5 % of total harmonic distortion. Also,

    the use of high frequency switching will minimize the size of parts used for the construction of the

    inverter.

    a functional device. The basic economics of a project like this has to do with the price of parts.The price of parts dictates the price of the inverter. The most costly part will be the

    microprocessor. By minimizing the parts cost, the price of the inverter should be comparable toother sine wave inverters on the market.

    For practical use,an adapter which will be used to

    connect the inverter to the 12 VDC system of an automobile. Appropriate gauge wire willconnect the cigarette lighter adapter to the inverter. A blade style fuse will protect the inverterform over-current conditions. The output will be provided using a single output receptacle to

    deliver the 12VAC. For mobility sake the whole inverter will be no larger than 8 long, 4.75wide, and 2.5 high.

    This section explains the theory that must be

    considered along with the approach that has allowed for the successful implementation of thepower inverter. It is worth mentioning that power inverter design requires knowledge of various

    areas in electrical and computer engineering including circuit analysis, power electronics,microprocessors, electromagnetic, signals and systems, and feedback controls. A general

    knowledge of these areas is critical in order to fully understand the physical behavior of eachcircuit component, as well as the interaction with other components. This section begins with a

    general overview of the technology considered in this project and then elaborates on the keydesign issues pertaining to both the hardware and software.

    3.1.1 :Though the methods involved in constructing a power inverter

    are practically unlimited, they all En compass the common goal of altering an incoming DC

    voltage to form a sinusoidal output signal. Regardless of the specific design implementation, aquality power inverter should provide the end-user with desirable voltage, current, and frequency

    output characteristics that meet or exceed the standards for specific appliances. Often, consumersare satisfied with the least expensive inverter that will provide an adequate power level to allow

    constant operation of particular devices. Regardless of price, a close examination of the outputwaveform can distinguish the quality between particular power inverters. For

    example, many inexpensive power inverters create what is called a modified sine wave. Figure3.1 shows an actual power inverter sold inexpensively.

    The problem with this type of inverter is the harshness withwhich it switches. Harsh switching causes a high harmonic distortion in the output signal.

    Harmonic distortion is simply the amount of power that is contained in other frequencies otherthan the fundamental frequency. The harsh switching actually causes voltage and current spikes

    in the output signal. This often reduces the useful life of electronic devices. In many case, theconnected device may fail to operate. This is why a sinusoidal waveform is the preferred and

    more expensive output waveform.

    3.2 :One of the most important considerations in building a pure

    sine-wave inverter is the output signal. As the name implies, a pure sine-wave inverter should

    produce an output signal with few fluctuations in DC/AC Power Inverter voltage and current.These signal fluctuations, or harmonics, are generated by rapidly switching the transistors that

    are used in creating the final output. In order to meet the 5% total harmonic distortion designrequirement, a pulse width modulated (PWM) switch-mode power supply was chosen over the

    square-wave or modified square wave topologies. The PWM method allows for filtering manyunwanted harmonics in the output signal, which is not possible in square-wave and modified

    square wave inverters.Choosing parts for the power inverter involved extensive

    research of the advantages and disadvantages of particular circuit topologies. Some of the majorfactors that determined the topology of choice for this project include power capabilities,

  • 7/23/2019 DC-AC FULL BRIDGE CONVERTER.pdf

    16/58

    efficiency, size, and cost. This project has been broken down into one major circuit topology.The circuit topology DC/AC inverter.

    BLOCK DIAGRAM OF DC TO AC CONVERTER:

    DC INPUT

    Figure 3.1: Block diagram of DC-AC converter

    3.2.1: :

    It is designed to operate under 5 Volts, but different voltages can be applied as well, takingin account the maximum operation voltage of the OP-AMPS.

    The two op-amps currently used are the known 741 chips. Different OP-Amps can be usedas well, and also dual chips for simplicity. The right OP-Amp will operate as an integrator andthe left as a comparator. When power is given to the circuit, the comparator drives it's outputHIGH. This signal is driven to the integrator through the resistor R. The capacitor C then starts tocharge gradually with RC time constant. While the capacitor is charging, the output of theintegrator is also taken to it's low state with the same rate. When the positive input of thecomparator, through the voltage divider that the 47K and 100K resistors perform, is driven lowenough, then it changes state, and the integrator starts operating vice-versa.

    It is easily understood that the frequency of oscillation will only have to do with the RC

    standard. That is true. A half cycle period is exactly the result of the R x C. A full cycle is twicethis amount. Therefore, the frequency is:

    FOSC=1

    2 x R x C

    In our test circuit, the R resistor is 22K and the C capacitor is 100nF. The oscillationfrequency would be:

    FOSC=1

    2 x 22x10 x 100x10-

  • 7/23/2019 DC-AC FULL BRIDGE CONVERTER.pdf

    17/58

    And that would make 227,27Hz approximately. In real life, the frequency measured wasabout 218Hz. This is a rather small (tiny) difference between the theoretical and the practical

    value, considering that the resistors have 5% accuracy and so does the capacitor as well.

    Elimination the DC voltage from the output

    If you watch the output signal in a oscilloscope, then you will notice that the triangle

    waveform is above of the zero voltage. The offset is caused by DC voltage. In order to eliminate

    this voltage shift, you should add a capacitor in series to the circuit. The value of the capacitorshould be chosen accordint tot he oscillation frequency of the circuit. For low frequencies, 1-100

    Hz, a 4.7uF to 10uF would work just fine. Above you should consider using smaller capacitors.A wrong capacitor selection would cause signal distortion and sometimes will add significant

    resistance to the output. The following circuit demonstrates the previous circuit with a seriescapacitor.

    Figure 3.2:Triangular wave generator and its waveforms

  • 7/23/2019 DC-AC FULL BRIDGE CONVERTER.pdf

    18/58

    As you can see, the waveform right after the capacitor is slightly above the zero voltage,where the waveform before the capacitor is several voltages above, due to the DC voltage shift.

    Now the output is easier to be used.

    3.2.2 :These circuits compared a small voltage sinusoidal

    wave (reference signal) to a small voltage saw-tooth wave (control frequency signal). At eachpoint where the sinusoidal and saw-tooth signals intersect, the output of the comparator toggles

    from a high state to a low state. To illustrate the theory behind sinusoidal PWM, Figure 3.5shows the expected output of a sine wave compared to a saw-tooth wave. The duty cycle

    Actually varies according to the time between sampling the reference sine wave.

    3.2.3 :The full-bridge inverter circuit, as shown in Figure 3.6,

    is very simple to construct because it only consists

    of four switches. The function of the full-bridge inverter is to convert the 170 VDC link voltagesupplied by the DC-DC converter into a 340 VAC (120 V RMS), 60 Hz sine wave. Thetransistors chosen for the full-bridge inverter circuit were the IRF740As. The IRFZ44A

    transistors were chosen because they have the appropriate voltage and current ratings (Vdss =400V, Id = 10A). The two complimentary PWM pulses produced by the sinusoidal PWM

    controller circuit are fed into the full-bridge inverter. One signal is sent in parallel to mosfets T1and T4. The other signal is sent in parallel to transistors T2 and T3. Programming the signals into

    the microcontroller as compliments of one another allows for transistors T1 and T4 to be onwhile transistors T2 and T3 are off, and vice versa. The basic principle with sinusoidal PWM is

    to divide the period of the desired sine wave output into a large number of evenly spacedintervals. In each interval, the control signal remains on for part of the time and off for the other

    part of the time. The ratio of the on time to off time at any given instant determines theamplitude of the desired output signal.

    3.2.4 :In order to eliminate the switching frequency and all multiples

    of the switching frequency, a low-pass filter had to be inserted after the output of the full-bridge

    inverter. A low-pass filter only allows frequencies below the cutoff-frequency to pass. The filter

  • 7/23/2019 DC-AC FULL BRIDGE CONVERTER.pdf

    21/58

    will reject any frequency above the cutoff frequency. The cutoff frequency can be set by thefollowing formula:

    Fcutoff 2

    = 1/2LC

    Figure 3.8 shows the switching harmonics that resulted from an 18 kHz switching frequency. Itshould be noted that the harmonics are located at the switching frequency and multiples of the

    switching frequency. The switching frequency was intentionally set at 18 kHz so it would berather distant from the 60 Hz fundamental frequency. This would allow for a high cutoff

    frequency, which by equation ??, allows for small LC components. The large distance betweenthe unwanted harmonics and the fundamental frequency is also beneficial because it allows for a

    large margin of error in the filter values.

    Figure 3.8 Frequency spectrum of unfiltered full bridge output

    An L-C low-pass filter was chosen for the power inverter. This topology, as shown in Figure 13,

    is simple to build, contains few components, and can handle high currents.

    4.1 :The test specifications explain the methods used to showthat design constraints have been met. The power inverter is composed of many components thatrequire testing separately and as a complete system. Testing each component individually helps

    to locate unique problems that are specific to each component. Complete system testing willensure that each hardware and software component is fully functional at a mutual level.

    4.1.1 :PSIM is a vital circuit simulation environment that allows rapid testing

    of parameters such as voltage, current, power, frequency, and total harmonic distortion. PSIM

    only generates theoretical circuit output values which would only be observed under idealconditions. Therefore, PSIM will only be used as a guide for the comparison of hand calculatedmeasurements or laboratory experimentations.

    The PSIM circuit simulation environment will be used to verify thedesign of the DC-DC converter and the DC-AC inverter. Both circuits and corresponding sub-

    circuits will be simulated in a similar manner, with the proper parts selected from existing PSIMlibraries. Most of the analog parts that comprise the power inverter are standard parts and will

    pose no problems in simulation; however, the integrated circuits for both the DC-DC converterand the DC-AC inverter will be simulated with the use of ideal sources that will be modified to

    duplicate each controllers desired output waveform.The DC-DC circuit contains a half-bridge converter and a transformer

    that were simulated in PSIM to compare simulated results with experimental results. For correctoperation of the DC-DC converter, two complementary square wave pulses must constantly

    pulse the two MOSFET transistors of the half-bridge circuit. Specifically, these two square-wavepulses were created by selecting vpulse from the PSIM library.

    Simulated in PSIM and was used to verify the experimental results.Four N-channel MOSFET transistors were used to construct the full-bridge inverter. To obtain

    the necessary sinusoidal PWM signal to switch the four MOSFETs, two comparators with partnumber uA741 were used. Both comparators were set up to compare a 60 Hz sine wave with an

    18 kHz saw tooth wave. The PWM output of the comparators was used to switch the transistorsto chop the 170 VDC link voltage supplied by the DCDC converter to an 18 kHz PWMwaveform. An LC low-pass filter was added to the full-bridge inverter to filter frequencies

    higher than the 60 Hz fundamental frequency. The complete DC-AC inverter simulation yieldeda voltage of 120 VAC, a frequency of 60 Hz, and a total harmonic distortion of less

    than 5%.

    Most of the design constraints set for the inverter were met. However, the one importantconstraint which the power inverter didnt meet was the 300W continuous power, which was

    probably because of the transformer and the traces on the PCB. The inverter produces a cleansine wave with 7% of harmonic distortion and has efficiency greater than 90%. Overall, it is a

    well designed project and a lot has been accomplished over the two semesters. This design if

    well marketed, will offer the power inverter market a premium product at a lower cost thanbefore. Future work could be done to further improve efficiency, total harmonic distortion, andsize. With these additional improvements, the standard could be raised for future DC/AC power

    supplies.

    Power inverters, regardless of size, are typically constructed of

    a DC-DC converter and a DC-AC inverter. These are the two major circuit components thatwork together to convert the input voltage from a vehicle battery into a desirable AC output

    waveform. In the INDIA, the standard AC output waveform consists of a voltage of 230 VACand a frequency of 50 HZ. Due to this standard, Electronic mobility has always been an issue

    when it comes to our mobile environment. Therefore, a mobile means of providing AC voltage isneeded. The majority of portable electronic devices are more easily powered using 230 VAC.

    When these devices need to be used in a remote or mobile setting there is a problem. Mostpeople have access to 12 VDC generated by the standard power supply system of a mobile

    vehicle, such as an automobile, ATV, or agriculture equipment. A power inverter of DC to AC

    type will be needed to convert 12 VDC to 230 VAC with acceptable power output.Power inverters were first invented using a square wave as

    the output form. This led to many different problems involving the functionality of devices that

    were being powered because they were designed to work with a sine wave instead of a squarewave. There were some changes made to the hardware to eliminate the harsh corners from the

    square wave to transform it to a modified sine wave. It was mainly marketers who coined theterm modified sine wave which in all reality is nothing more than a modified square wave.

    Power inverters that used a modified sine wave did not eliminate the problems associatedwith square wave inverters. They did however, minimize these problems. Although most peoplewithout a background in electronics do not know the difference, a modified square wave can

    have detrimental effects on electrical loads. First of all, abnormal heat will be produced, causing

    a reduction in product reliability, efficiency, and useful life. Another disadvantage of a modifiedsine wave is that its choppy waveform can confuse the operation of some digital timing devices.This can cause a device to perform undesirable or abnormal functions. Also, nearly 5 % of

    household electronics will not even work with a modified sine wave. The advantages of a truesine wave inverter are usually reflected in the final market price.

    Power inverters are usually described as having either ahigh or low switching frequency. Switching frequency refers to the rate at which the input DC

    voltage is oscillated to create an AC output. Low frequency inverters oscillate a DC voltage at 50Hz. Then they step that voltage up to the desired amplitude using a bulky and a heavy

    transformer. High frequency inverters, on the other hand, use a small and lightweighttransformer. A high frequency inverter will produce many harmonics near the range of the

    switching frequency. However, most of the harmonics are relatively higher in order than the 50Hz fundamental frequency. These harmonics can be isolated using a small low-pass filter. In

    turn, isolation of harmonics will result in less buzzing in audio equipment and less interference inother electronic equipment such as radios and televisions.

    When you think mobility, a unit thats the size of a laptopdoesnt seem awfully large. But consider the trend in electronics these days, a laptop seems

    gigantic as compared to some of the microscopic devices and apertures that are being massedproduced. Therefore a trend in electronics, as is has been in the past decades, is miniaturization.

    8.1 :

    8.1.1 741:

    An operational amplifier("op-amp") is a DC-coupled high-gain electronic voltage amplifierwith a differential input and, usually, a single-ended output.[1]An op-amp produces an outputvoltage that is typically hundreds of thousands times larger than the voltage differencebetweenits input terminals.

    Operational amplifiers had their origins in analog computers where they were used in manylinear, non-linear and frequency-dependent circuits. Characteristics of a circuit using an op-ampare set by external components with little dependence on temperature changes or manufacturing

    variations in the op-amp itself, which makes op-amps popular building blocks for circuit design.

    Op-amps are among the most widely used electronic devices today, being used in a vast array ofconsumer, industrial, and scientific devices. Many standard IC op-amps cost only a few cents inmoderate production volume; however some integrated or hybrid operational amplifiers withspecial performance specifications may cost over $100 US in small quantities.[citation needed]Op-amps may be packaged as components, or used as elements of more complex integrated circuits.

    The op-amp is one type of differential amplifier. Other types of differential amplifier include thefully differential amplifier (similar to the op-amp, but with two outputs), the instrumentationamplifier (usually built from three op-amps), the isolation amplifier (similar to the

    instrumentation amplifier, but with tolerance to common-mode voltages that would destroy anordinary op-amp), and negative feedback amplifier (usually built from one or more op-amps anda resistive feedback network).

    8.2 Operation

    8.1:A ( )

  • 7/23/2019 DC-AC FULL BRIDGE CONVERTER.pdf

    36/58

    The amplifier's differential inputs consist of a V+input and a Vinput, and ideally the op-ampamplifies only the difference in voltage between the two, which is called the differential inputvoltage. The output voltage of the op-amp is given by the equation:

    where V+is the voltage at the non-inverting terminal, Vis the voltage at the inverting terminalandAOLis the open-loop gain of the amplifier (the term "open-loop" refers to the absence of afeedback loop from the output to the input).

    The magnitude ofAOLis typically very large10,000 or more for integrated circuit op-ampsand therefore even a quite small difference between V+and Vdrives the amplifier output nearlyto the supply voltage. This is called saturationof the amplifier. The magnitude ofAOLis not wellcontrolled by the manufacturing process, and so it is impractical to use an operational amplifieras a stand-alone differential amplifier. Without negative feedback, and perhaps with positivefeedback for regeneration, an op-amp acts as a comparator. If the inverting input is held at

    ground (0 V) directly or by a resistor, and the input voltage Vinapplied to the non-inverting inputis positive, the output will be maximum positive; if Vinis negative, the output will be maximumnegative. Since there is no feedback from the output to either input, this is an open loopcircuitacting as a comparator. The circuit's gain is just theAOL< of the op-amp.

    8.2: A ( )

    If predictable operation is desired, negative feedback is used, by applying a portion of the outputvoltage to the inverting input. The closed loopfeedback greatly reduces the gain of the amplifier.If negative feedback is used, the circuit's overall gain and other parameters become determinedmore by the feedback network than by the op-amp itself. If the feedback network is made ofcomponents with relatively constant, stable values, the unpredictability and inconstancy of theop-amp's parameters do not seriously affect the circuit's performance. Typically the op-amp'svery large gain is controlled by negative feedback, which largely determines the magnitude of itsoutput ("closed-loop") voltage gain in amplifier applications, or the transfer function required (in

    37/58

    analog computers). High input impedance at the input terminals and low output impedance at theoutput terminal(s) are important typical characteristics.

    For example, in a non-inverting amplifier (see the figure on the right) adding a negative feedbackvia the voltage divider Rf,Rgreduces the gain. Equilibrium will be established when Voutis just

    sufficient to reach around and "pull" the inverting input to the same voltage as Vin. The voltagegain of the entire circuit is determined by 1 + Rf/Rg. As a simple example, if Vin= 1V and Rf=Rg, Voutwill be 2V, the amount required to keep Vat 1V. Because of the feedback provided byRf,Rgthis is a closed loopcircuit. Its overall gain Vout/ Vinis called the closed-loop gainACL.Because the feedback is negative, in this caseACLis less than theAOLof the op-amp.

    Another way of looking at it is to make two relatively valid assumptions: One, that when an op-amp is being operated in linear mode, the difference in voltage between the non-inverting (+) pinand the inverting (-) pin is so small as to be considered negligible.[3]The second assumption isthat the input impedance at both + and - pins is extremely high (at least several megohms withmodern op-amps). Thus, when the circuit to the right is operated as a non-inverting linear

    amplifier, Vin will appear at the + and - pins and create a current i through Rg equal to Vin/Rg.Since Kirchoff's current law states that the same current must leave a node as enter it, and sincethe impedance into the - pin is near infinity, we can assume the overwhelming majority of thesame current i travels through Rf, creating an output voltage equal to Vin + i*Rf. By combiningterms, we can easily determine the gain of this particular type of circuit.

    8.3 Op-amp characteristics

    8.3.1

    8.3

    A .

    An ideal op-amp is usually considered to have the following properties, and they are consideredto hold for all input voltages:

    Infinite open-loop gain (when doing theoretical analysis, a limit may be taken as openloop gainAOLgoes to infinity).

    Infinite voltage range available at the output ( ) (in practice the voltages available

    from the output are limited by the supply voltages and ). The power supplysources are called rails.

    Infinite bandwidth (i.e., the frequency magnitude response is considered to be flat

    everywhere with zero phase shift).

    ().

    .

    These ideals can be summarized by the two "golden rules":

  • 7/23/2019 DC-AC FULL BRIDGE CONVERTER.pdf

    39/58

    .

    .

    . .4:177

    The first rule only applies in the usual case where the op-amp is used in a closed-loop design(negative feedback, where there is a signal path of some sort feeding back from the output to the

    inverting input). These rules are commonly used as a good first approximation for analyzing ordesigning op-amp circuits.

    In practice, none of these ideals can be perfectly realized, and various shortcomings andcompromises have to be accepted. Depending on the parameters of interest, a real op-amp may

    be modeled to take account of some of the non-infinite or non-zero parameters using equivalentresistors and capacitors in the op-amp model. The designer can then include the effects of these

    undesirable, but real, effects into the overall performance of the final circuit. Some parametersmay turn out to have negligible effect on the final design while others represent actual limitations

    of the final performance,that must be evaluated.

    8.3.2

    Real op-amps differ from the ideal model in various respects.

    8.4 DC imperfections

    Real operational amplifiers suffer from several non-ideal effects:

    8.4.1

    Open-loop gain is infinite in the ideal operational amplifier but finite in real operational

    amplifiers. Typical devices exhibit open-loop DC gain ranging from 100,000 to over 1

    million. So long as the loop gain (i.e., the product of open-loop and feedback gains) is

    very large, the circuit gain will be determined entirely by the amount of negative

    feedback (i.e., it will be independent of open-loop gain). In cases where closed-loop gain

    must be very high, the feedback gain will be very low, and the low feedback gain causes

    low loop gain; in these cases, the operational amplifier will cease to behave ideally.

    8.4.2

    The differential input impedance of the operational amplifier is defined as the impedance

    between its two inputs; the common-mode input impedance is the impedance from each

    input to ground. MOSFET-input operational amplifiers often have protection circuits that

    effectively short circuit any input differences greater than a small threshold, so the input

    impedance can appear to be very low in some tests. However, as long as these operational

  • 7/23/2019 DC-AC FULL BRIDGE CONVERTER.pdf

    40/58

    amplifiers are used in a typical high-gain negative feedback application, these protection

    circuits will be inactive. The input bias and leakage currents described below are a more

    important design parameter for typical operational amplifier applications.

    8.4.3

    Low output impedance is important for low-impedance loads; for these loads, the voltage

    drop across the output impedance of the amplifier will be significant. Hence, the output

    impedance of the amplifier limits the maximum power that can be provided. In

    configurations with a voltage-sensing negative feedback, the output impedance of the

    amplifier is effectively lowered; thus, in linear applications, op-amps usually exhibit a

    very low output impedance indeed. Negative feedback can not, however, reduce the

    limitations that Rloadin conjunction with Routplace on the maximum and minimum

    possible output voltages; it can only reduce output errors withinthat range.

    Low-impedance outputs typically require high quiescent (i.e., idle) current in the outputstage and will dissipate more power, so low-power designs may purposely sacrifice low

    output impedance.

    8.4.4

    Due to biasing requirements or leakage, a small amount of current (typically ~10

    nanoamperes for bipolar op-amps, tens of picoamperes for JFET input stages, and only a

    few pA for MOSFET input stages) flows into the inputs. When large resistors or sources

    with high output impedances are used in the circuit, these small currents can produce

    large unmodeled voltage drops. If the input currents are matched, and the impedancelooking out of both inputs are matched, then the voltages produced at each input will be

    equal. Because the operational amplifier operates on the difference between its inputs,

    these matched voltages will have no effect (unless the operational amplifier has poor

    CMRR, which is described below). It is more common for the input currents (or the

    impedances looking out of each input) to be slightly mismatched, and so a small offset

    voltage (different from the input offset voltage below) can be produced. This offset

    voltage can create offsets or drifting in the operational amplifier. It can often be nulled

    externally; however, many operational amplifiers include offset null or balance pins and

    some procedure for using them to remove this offset. Some operational amplifiers

    attempt to nullify this offset automatically.

    8.4.5

    This voltage, which is what is required across the op-amp's input terminals to drive the

    output voltage to zero, is related to the mismatches in input bias current. In the perfect

    amplifier, there would be no input offset voltage. However, it exists in actual op-amps

    Figure 8.4 comparator

    8.7.3 :

    A dedicated voltage comparator will generally be fasterthan a general-purpose operational amplifier pressed into service as a comparator. A dedicatedvoltage comparator may also contain additional features such as an accurate, internal voltagereference, an adjustable hysteresis and a clock gated input.

    A dedicated voltage comparator chip such as LM339 is designed to interface with a digital logic

    interface (to a TTL or a CMOS). The output is a binary state often used to interface real worldsignals to digital circuitry (see analog to digital converter). If there is a fixed voltage sourcefrom, for example, a DC adjustable device in the signal path, a comparator is just the equivalentof a cascade of amplifiers. When the voltages are nearly equal, the output voltage will not fallinto one of the logic levels, thus analog signals will enter the digital domain with unpredictableresults. To make this range as small as possible, the amplifier cascade is high gain. The circuitconsists of mainly Bipolar transistors except perhaps in the beginning stage which will likely befield effect transistors. For very high frequencies, the input impedance of the stages is low. Thisreduces the saturation of the slow, large P-N junction bipolar transistors that would otherwiselead to long recovery times. Fast small Schottky diodes, like those found in binary logic designs,improve the performance significantly though the performance still lags that of circuits with

    amplifiers using analog signals. Slew rate has no meaning for these devices. For applications inflash ADCs the distributed signal across 8 ports matches the voltage and current gain after eachamplifier, and resistors then behave as level-shifters.

    The LM339 accomplishes this with an open collector output. When the inverting input is at ahigher voltage than the non inverting input, the output of the comparator connects to the negativepower supply. When the non inverting input is higher than the inverting input, the output is'floating' (has a very high impedance to ground).

    Figure 8.5 various comparators

    8.7.4 :While in general comparators are "fast," their circuits are not

    immune to the classic speed-power tradeoff. High speed comparators use transistors with largeraspect ratios and hence also consume more power. Depending on the application, select either acomparator with high speed or one that saves power. For example, nano-powered comparators in

    space-saving chip-scale packages (UCSP), DFN or SC70 packages such as MAX9027,LTC1540, LPV7215, MAX9060 and MCP6541 are ideal for ultra-low-power, portableapplications. Likewise if a comparator is needed to implement a relaxation oscillator circuit tocreate a high speed clock signal then comparators having few nano seconds of propagation delaymay be suitable. ADCMP572 (CML output), LMH7220 (LVDS Output), MAX999 (CMOSoutput / TTL output), LT1719 (CMOS output / TTL output), MAX9010 (TTL output), andMAX9601 (PECL output) are examples of some good high speed comparators.

    For our future purpose by using micro controller we can swich off and on the dc-ac converter.Like when the power is switched off the microcontroller automatically triggers the mosfet and ac

    voltage is produced. when power is on the micro controller switches off the triggering of mosfetand normal power supply is used.

    This DC-AC converter is further used to switch on leds and tube lights for internal use byusing dc supply.

    11.1 :

    11.1.1 (4007):In electronics, a diode is a type of two-terminal electronic

    component with nonlinear resistance and conductance (i.e., a nonlinear currentvoltage

    characteristic), distinguishing it from components such as two-terminal linear resistors which

    obey Ohm's law. A semiconductor diode, the most common type today, is a crystalline piece of

    semiconductor material connected to two electrical terminals.[A vacuum tube diode (now rarely

    used except in some high-power technologies) is a vacuum tube with two electrodes: a plate and

    a cathode.
