Description

A Dead-Band generator protects the power semiconductors during the commutation. The dead time is programmable between 0?s and 102?s. This time range is sufficient for all kinds of power semi-conductors (MOSFET IGBT BIPOLAR and THYRISTOR) in a wide range of kW (kiloWatt) or HP (Horse Powers).TMS320C24x Dead-Band separates the transition edges of two signals: output and complemented output b
