Automation of the design and development stages of semiconductor devices

In the scientific article, automation of optimization of driver control nodes for semiconductor frequency converters feeding mechatronic modules was performed. The selection and justification of the design scheme of the control board nodes examined, the analysis of the possible operating modes of the control boards, the calculation of the system variables (voltage, currents), the calculation and comparison of various control options, and analysis of the results; development of recommendations for the practical use of research results. It was determined that the use of uncontrolled power supplies entails huge losses power allocated to the elements of the amplifier, which requires optimization. The efficiency of the amplifier is also unstable and lies in the range from 15 to 67%; The use of controlled power sources allowed to significantly reduce the power allocated to the elements of the amplifier (2 – 7 times). Also, the efficiency of the amplifier becomes approximately constant and is about 75%; The maximum thermal power dissipation in all modes is 1304 watts for the whole amplifier, including for each module 186 watts; To increase the reliability of the device, we select the safety factor for the power dissipation 3 and calculate the efficiency of the heat removal and recycling system at a thermal power of 600 W.
