Choosing MOSFETs and Drivers for

Phase-Shift Full-Bridge Converter

 MOSFET Requirements for High Voltage
Applications

Key Factors in MOSFET Selection

Vds (Drain-Source Voltage): Must be higher than input voltage (e.g., 288V), usually with a
safety margin (400-600V).
Rds(on) (On-State Resistance): Lower Rds(on) reduces conduction losses, important for
efficiency.
Id (Drain Current): Should handle peak current (1.215A for 350W at 288V).
Package: TO-220, TO-247 offer good thermal performance for power applications.
Understanding Bootstrap Circuitry

• 1. High-side MOSFET requires gate voltage

higher than source (e.g., 288V).
• 2. Bootstrap capacitor temporarily stores
Why charge to provide 10-15V higher than source
voltage.
Bootst • 3. Driver handles charging of the bootstrap
capacitor and switching logic.
rap • 4. Allows for simpler, cost-effective high-side
switching without isolated power supplies.
