Question
QUESTION 2
a) How would you characterise power bipolar devices in comparison with power
MOSFETs? Illustrate your answer by providing unique features of power MOSFETs.
b) Using the aid of a MOSFET diagram, explain operational features of the power
MOSFET. Support your explanation using MOSFET operation as a switch. Also,
illustrate the conditions needed to drive a power MOSFET in the different regions of
operation.
c) Discuss four (4) advantages of a bridge or half-bridge forward converter when compared
with a single-ended forward converter
