ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 6 -- United States Patent no. 12,463,557, issued on Nov. 4, was assigned to Infineon Technologies Austria AG (Villach, Austria).
"Inverter systems featuring hybrid TCM/CCM modulation scheme" was invented by Stefano de Filippis (Villach, Austria), Matthias Joachim Kasper (Villach, Austria) and Gerald Deboy (Klagenfurt, Austria).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "To reduce switching losses, an inverter circuitry of this disclosure may operate using triangular current mode (TCM) control for the semiconductor devices to achieve zero voltage switching (ZVS) at the turn-on of the semiconductor switches. In contrast to other techniques, such as operating the inverter circuitry in co...
