Texas Instruments at PoliTo: Mastering Three-Phase DC/AC Converters

Texas Instruments at PoliTo: Mastering Three-Phase DC/AC Converters – Topologies, Design, and Live Demo

Thursday March 6th (15:00-18:00): Laboratorio Didattico Dimostrativo Ingegneria Elettrica

Active three-phase DC/AC converters are widely used in modern applications such as EV charging stations, energy storage systems, and onboard chargers. In this seminar, Texas Instruments provides a comprehensive comparison of the most common three-phase DC/AC converter topologies, emphasizing their advantages and suitability for various applications. Attendees will gain a solid understanding of the fundamental operating principles of threephase converters and learn how to select the most appropriate topology for specific use cases. The presentation will feature an in-depth walkthrough of the design process for a three-phase T-Type converter, covering essential components including power MOSFETs, gate drivers, microcontrollers (MCUs), and current sensing techniques.

The seminar will conclude with a live demonstration of Texas Instruments’ reference design, offering practical insights into real-world implementation and performance.
