US Patent Issued to NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY on May 19 for "Paralleling power semiconductors with different switching frequencies" (North Carolina Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 19 -- United States Patent no. 12,633,815, issued on May 19, was assigned to NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY (Raleigh, N.C.).

"Paralleling power semiconductors with different switching frequencies" was invented by Wensong Yu (Raleigh, N.C.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Various examples are provided related to operation of parallel semiconductors with different switching frequencies. In one example, a method of reducing conduction and switching losses in a high current switching circuit includes controlling two hybrid switches to conduct concurrently or alternately, each of the hybrid switches include a wide bandgap device and a silicon power device. Controlling of the si...
