Simplest Full Bridge Inverter Circuit

Last Updated on March 20, 2025 by Swagatam 361 Comments

Among the different existing inverter topologies, the full bridge or the H-bridge inverter topology is considered to be the most efficient and effective. Configuring a full bridge topology could involve too many criticality, however with the advent of full bridge driver ICs these have now become one of the simplest inverters one can build.

What's a Full-Bridge Topology

A full bridge inverter also called an H-bridge inverter, is the most efficient inverter topology which work two wire transformers for delivering the required push-pull oscillating current into the primary. This avoids the use of a 3-wire center tapped transformer which are not very efficient due to their twice the amount of primary winding than a 2-wire transformer

This feature allows the use of smaller transformers and get more power outputs at the same time.Today due to the easy availability of full bridge driver ICs things have become utterly simple and making a full bridge inverter circuit at home has become a kids play.

Here I have explained a full bridge inverter circuit using the full bridge driver IC IRS2453(1)D from International Rectifiers.

The mentioned chip is an outstanding full bridge driver IC as it single handedly takes care of  all the major criticality involved with H-bridge topologies through its advanced in-built circuitry.

The assembler simply needs to connect a few handful of components externally for achieving a full fledged, working H-bridge inverter.

The simplicity of the design is evident from the diagram shown below:

Circuit Operation

full bridge compressed

NOTE: Please join the SD pin of the IC with the ground line, if it is not used for the shut down operation.

Pin14 and pin10 are the high side floating supply voltage pinouts of the IC. The 1uF capacitors effectively keep these crucial pinouts a shade higher than the drain voltages of the corresponding mosfets ensuring that the mosfet source potential stays lower than the gate potential for the required conduction of the mosfets.

The gate resistors suppress drain/source surge possibility by preventing sudden conduction of the mosfets.

The diodes across the gate resistors are introduced for quick discharging of the internal gate/drain capacitors during their non-conduction periods for ensuring optimal response from the devices.

The IC IRS2453(1)D is also featured with an in-built oscillator, meaning no external oscillator stage would be required with this chip.

Just a couple of external passive components take care of the frequency for driving the inverter.

Rt and Ct can be calculated for getting the intending 50Hz or 60 Hz frequency outputs over the mosfets.

Important Calculations

Frequency Calculation for IRS2453 Oscillator

The IRS2453 chip uses external components Rt and Ct to set the PWM frequency.

Formula:

f = 1 / (1.453 × Rt × Ct)

  • Where:
  • f = Switching frequency (Hz)
  • Rt = Timing resistor (ohms)
  • Ct = Timing capacitor (farads)

Example Calculation:

Let us Assume Rt = 33 kΩ = 33 × 10³ Ω, Ct = 1 µF = 1 × 10⁻⁶ F:

f = 1 / (1.453 × (33 × 10³) × (1 × 10⁻⁶))

f = 1 / (1.453 × 33 × 10⁻³)

f ≈ 20.9 kHz

Thus the switching frequency is approximately 20.9 kHz. So you can adjust Rt and Ct to modify the frequency as needed.

Gate Resistors

The 33ohm resistors at the MOSFET gates limit the inrush current during switching and dampen oscillations.

Power Dissipation in Gate Resistors:

Pgate = Qg × Vgate × f

  • Where:
  • Qg = Gate charge of the MOSFET (63 nC for IRF540)
  • Vgate = Gate drive voltage (10V)
  • f = Switching frequency (20.9 kHz)

Substituting values:

Pgate = 63 × 10⁻⁹ × 10 × 20.9 × 10³

Pgate ≈ 0.013 W

Each gate resistor dissipates approximately 13 mW, which is negligible.

Power MOSFET Ratings (IRF540)

Drain-Source Voltage (VDS):

The MOSFETs must withstand the full rectified supply voltage. For a 15V input, VDS(max) must be higher than 15V. The IRF540 has a VDS(max) of 100V, which is adequate.

Current Handling (ID):

Each MOSFET handles half the load current:

ID = Iload / 2

Ensure ID(max) (33A for IRF540) exceeds this value.

Reverse Gate Diodes

The 1N4148 diodes ensures instant gate capacitance discharge for the MOSFETs, which ensures efficient switching response from the MOSFETs.

Reverse Recovery Time:

The recovery time for 1N4148 is 4ns, suitable for high-frequency switching.

Power Dissipation:

Pdiode = Vf × Iload

Where Vf = Forward voltage of the diode (0.7V for 1N4148).

Load Power

The load determines the current through the MOSFETs and resistors.

Load Current (Iload):

Iload = Pload / Vsupply

For Pload = 50 W and Vsupply = 15V:

Iload = 50 / 15 = 3.33 A

Power Dissipation in MOSFETs:

PMOSFET = ID² × RDS(on)

For IRF540, RDS(on) = 0.044 Ω:

PMOSFET = (3.33 / 2)² × 0.044 = 0.122 W per MOSFET.

Capacitor Selection

Input Capacitor (100 µF/25V):

Filters the rectified AC and smooths the supply voltage. The ripple current rating should exceed the load current (Iload).

Bootstrap Capacitors (1 µF/25V):

These provide gate drive voltage for the high-side MOSFETs. Ensure the value can handle the gate charge (Qg) of the MOSFETs.

High Voltage Feature

Another interesting feature of this IC is its ability to handle very high voltages upto 600V making it perfectly applicable for transformeless inverters or compact ferrite inverter circuits.

As can be seen in the given diagram, if an externally accessible 330V DC is applied across the "+/- AC rectified lines", the configuration instantly becomes a transformerless inverter wherein any intended load can be connected directly across the points marked as "load".

Alternatively if an ordinary step-down transformer is used, the primary winding can be connected across the points marked as "load". In this case the "+AC rectified line" can be joined with pin#1 of the IC and terminated commonly to the battery (+) of the inverter.

If a battery higher than 15V is used, the "+AC rectified line" should be connected directly with the battery positive while pin#1 should be applied with a stepped down regulated 12V from the battery source using IC 7812.

Although the below shown design looks too easy to construct, the layout requires some strict guidelines to be followed, you may refer to the post for ensuring correct protection measures for proposed simple full bridge inverter circuit.

Clock InputFrom Astable MultivibratorExternal alternating PWM signal source

The diagram above shows how to implement an effective full bridge square wave inverter design using a couple of half bridge ICs IR2110.

The ICs are full fledged half bridge drivers equipped with the required bootstrapping capacitor network for driving the high side mosfets, and a dead-time feature to ensure 100% safety for the mosfet conduction.

The ICs work by alternately switching the Q1/Q2 and Q3/Q4 mosfets in tandem, such that at any occasion when Q1 is ON, Q2 and Q3 are completely switched OF and vice versa.

The IC is able to create the above precise switching in response to the timed signals at their HIN and LIN inputs.

These four inputs needs to be triggered to ensure that at any instant HIN1 and LIN2 are switched ON simultaneously while HIN2 and LIN1 are switched OFF, and vice versa. This is done at twice the rate of the inverter output frequency. Meaning if the inverter output is required to be 50Hz, the HIN/LIN inputs should be oscillated at 100Hz rate and so on.

Oscillator Circuit

IR2110 input feed oscillator circuit

This is an oscillator circuit which is optimized for triggering the HIN/LIN inputs of the above explained full-bridge inverter circuit.

A single 4049 IC is used for generating the required frequency and also for isolating the alternating input feeds for the inverter ICs.

C1 and R1 determine the frequency required for  oscillating the half bridge devices and could be calculated using the following formula:

f = 1 /1.2RC

Alternatively, the values could be achieved through some trial and error.

Discrete Full Bridge Inverter using Transistor

So far we have studied a full bridge inverter topologies using specialized ICs, however the same could be built using discrete parts such transistors and capacitors, and without depending on ICs.

A simple diagram can be seen below:

      Thank you Sayed,
      The MOSFET gates are high impedance inputs so the current does not matter, the gates can work with microamperes also, so nothing to worry about the current. The best voltage is 12V.
      The ICs might need 5 to 10mA for operating correctly.

          Yes 12V 150mA will more than sufficient for the ICs and the MOSFET gates.
          Your second question is also correct. However remember that the HIN pin of one IR2110 IC must connect with the LIN pin of the other IR2110 IC, and vice versa.

      Yes, those MOSFETs can be used, provided your solar input voltage is above 200V DC.
      TL494 cannot be used to generate 50Hz frequency. You can use 4060 iC instead, or the one explained in the above article.
      For 50Hz you can use any gate resistor between 10 ohm and 50 ohm 1/4 watt.

          Hi Rony, yes a feedback can be added to a 4060 based inverter circuit, but a 4060 will require another NPN BJT for inverting the output for the HIN, LIN inputs.
          The outputs from the 4060 IC to the HIN, LIN inputs of the H-bridge will not require any resistors, they can be connected directly.
          However I think the oscillator using the 4049 IC, as given in the article, is even better since it won’t require an external NPN BJT, and a feedback can also be added to this 4049 circuit.

                      Rony, The SPW47N60C3 VDS is rated at 650V, so if your inverter output is rated to work with a voltage above 150V and below 400V then this MOSFET will be good, you can use it.

If we give one high side HO2 with 2kHz and LO1 with 50Hz and vice versa then proper punching happens to create sign wave .plz give insight on this as I have seen esg002 card works on this principle

      Good Morning Rinku,

      Applying SPWM to the high-side MOSFETs, which require bootstrapping for proper operation, could be problematic.

      The low-side MOSFETs, however, are simpler to control with SPWM because they connect directly to ground. By controlling the low-side MOSFETs with SPWM, the load current will follow the same pattern.

      To make sine wave you just need to chop the low side MOSFETs.

      In your design are you following the principles explained in the following article:

      https://www.homemade-circuits.com/mosfet-protection-basics-explained-is/

      If you chop the low side MOSFETs with SPWM the output will also SPWM because the low side is in series with the high side MOSFET.

      Remember for iron core transformer the SPWM frequency must not exceed 300Hz.

              Please try with low frequency first, 300 Hz from the 555 IC.
              And change the 100 ohm gate resistors with 1k.
              Make sure you have the 1N4148 diodes connected parallel to all the gate resistors.

                  Please also add 10k resistor directly across the gate/source of all the MOSFETs.

      If you ae using 12V for the VCC pin of the IR2110, you can use the same 12V for the 4047 IC also, a regulator may not be required. If you want to regulate the 4047 supply, you can do it by supplying the 12V to the 4047 IC through a 1k resistor and then adding a 12V zener diode across the 4047 supply terminals.

      Hi Andrzej, I think the EG002 can be an easier option, but I can’t figure out how this can be used to convert 220V to 110V? If you use PWM then the average voltage will reduce to 110V but the peak will still remain 220V. A transformer is perhaps the ideal option for converting 220V to 110V.

          For 220V the peak voltage is 310V and for 110V it should be around 160V
          But without a transformer the peak will remain 310V for 110V sinewave, which is not good. I have no idea how this can reduced to 160V without a transformer?
          So I think without a transformer reducing the peak to 160 V may not be possible, or maybe I do not know how to do it.

However, when I increase the supply voltage to 42 VDC from behind the diode bridge of an iron core transformer. Then immediately a BC546 (high side) was short-circuited. The corresponding mosfet is also shorted. Can you give advice on this case. Thank you very much.

    Reply
    • Swagatam says

      August 20, 2022 at 9:31 am

      Yes 4.3V will normally heat up a mosfet since most mosfets are rated to work with a minimum of 9V gate voltage.
      However your readings might be wrong, because the output of an H-bridge IC can be in a form of a high frequency, which may not allow you to measure the gate voltage correctly.
      PWM amplitude is not related to the output voltage of the H bridge, the Vcc voltage is related to the output voltage from the H bridge. The Vcc should be ideally around 12 to 15V. The PWM peak voltage should not be higher than the Vcc voltage.
      In your case as I mentioned earlier, a 900V mosfet can never be used with 4500V supply.

      Unfortunately it is not mentioned in the datasheet but it is an understood fact that dead time will be existing in the IC by default. If suppose the IC does not provide a dead time internally then the IC will simply not work and it will keep blowing the mosfets which I don’t think the manufacturers of the IC will allow to happen.

      This IC is popularly used for making inverters and in no circuit diagram an external dead time has been seen so far.

      The main thing is that the mosfets must be rated much higher than the load supply specifications. If the mosfet rating is less than the input supply then it will keep blowing.

      At 4500V the risks can be very high.
      You will have use mosfets that are rated at 6000 V, and the bootstrapping capacitor must be rated at 10000 V. You must have reverse diodes rated at 10kv across mosfet drain/source.
      The Vcc pin of the IC must be protected with a 1K series resistor, a filter capacitor, and a 12V zener diode.
      The mosfets must be connected as close as possible to the IC. The +/- 4500V DC bus line must have a non polar capacitor rated at 10uF / 10000 V.
      Also remember that the HIN and LIN polarities must be perfectly opposite while switching. Meaning when HIN is high, LIN should be LOW and vice versa.
      Another thing is that, if you are two IR2113 ICs, the HIN pin of one IC should be connected with the LIN pin of the other IC, so that the mosfest are able to switch diagonally.

Transformer is 12v/220v. Pls what could be reason for this?

      That’s great Patrick,
      1K should have been fine, I am not sure why you are facing this issue. You can try replacing the 1K with 4k7 or 10K resistors and see how it works.

        Thanks for your quick response. I have used 10k yet i can’t get 220v. With the resistors at the gate/source pin, I realised about 4v on the load(where the transformer is expected). Don’t know if the 1uf used for bootstrapping should be made higher, perhaps that might solve the issues.

          In that case I think you can eliminate the gate/source resistor for the high side mosfets. However keeping it connected on the low side mosfets won’t have any problems.

          The gate/source resistors are to increase working efficiency of the mosfets, so that their gate capacitance discharges as quickly as possible during OFF times and the mosfet generates less heat. The diodes also do the same thing, discharges the gate capacitance of the mosfets quickly during OFF times
          yes you can use 1N4148 diodes.

      Please check the frequency across the Ct capacitor, if you get a frequency there, then your IC is oscillating and the MOSFET may be faulty, if no frequency then your IC is faulty or some other part/connections are faulty…

      Any oscilloscope can quickly indicate the working of the IC.

    Hi Swagatam, hope you well.
    Hope you can help me with an idea i have with this named IC, called IRS2453(1)D.
    Firstly, what is the chances to use two Hall effect transistors to do the timing of the IC? with other words, I have a rotor with say 10 small button magnets on, alternating between north and south. Then, using latching Hall effect tr’s which get switched on and off my the north and south magnets. then to use that switching sequence as the CT and RT timing for the said IC.
    Secondly, my need is to use 2 of the said IC’s as to control a type of motor with the following working condition. the motor has 4 sets of electro-magnets and sits at the following positions, one at twelve o’clock and six o’clock and then the other two at three o’clock and then obviously at nine o’clock. The 12 o’clock and 6 o’clock works together and then obviously the other 2 works together, but with the distinct difference that at a one moment the 12 o’clock electro-magnet is a north pole and the 6 o’clock is a south pole. Then the next moment the sequence is reversed and the 12 o’clock electro-magnet has a south pole and the 6 o’clock has a north pole. Obviously the other pair works in the same manner due to the full H-bridge sequence and topology.
    It has to be understand that when the one set op electro-magnet poles are sw’ed on the other pair has to be off. There has to be a certain on time and off time as to push and pull the magnets on the rotor to be moved. For better understanding of the motor, the rotor has 8 magnets which means at one moment each of the electro-magnets has 2 magnets, one north and one south. Thus when say the 12 o’clock eletro-magnet is sw’d on and forms a north pole, the it will push the north pole magnet on the rother and obviously pulls the south pole magnet. again it will be understood that the opposite electro-magnet will form a south pole and here again the logic is the same by the fact that the south pole magnet on the rotor will be pushed and the north pole magnet will be attracted. It will be then understood that this is the sequence of the other pole pair as well.
    Here is where my first question came up as to see if i can use button magnets on a smaller rotor which is spaced accordingly as to sw on and off the hall effect tr’s as to cause the timing of the 2 H-bridge IC’s, causing the correct timing of the IC’s. It must beobvious to you now that i need to have a perfect sequence between the to timing H-bridge IC’s.
    In fact Swagatam, this is a simple sequence when one uses a commutator, but its not the technology i want to use, but rather a electronical way and this said IC’s working is so simple that I am sure there must be a simple way to do it. My experience is 2-way radio’s and the repair of it and not in design of circuits as you are experienced in. Thus my reaching out to you and see if you might be able and eager to help as i get the idea when i went threw your web site that you enjoy designing and thinking outside the box.

    So my friend, hope this i tried to explain to you is understanding and that it might inspire your to the point of thinking about it and design if necessary to help me in my little project.

    Hope to hear from you and have a great day!

        October 22, 2020 at 2:16 pm

        Hi Swagatam, thank you for replaying…sorry my friend, I tried to explain the motor by saying there is 4 electro magnets where in fact there is 8. The purpose was to make it as plain as possible as to ensure you get the idea i tried to explain by using the analogy of the clock and the position of the electro magnets on the clock. There is in fact 2 electro magnets next to each other with a bit of a gap between them and the next 2 electro magnets. Its then also important to know that with 2 sets of electro magnets….which is directly opposing each other, there is 3 magnets for each set of electro magnets, which interact with the said electro magnets. It must be understood that when this two sets of electro magnets are active, on eletro magnet has a north pole and the adjacent electro magnet is then a south pole. At this specific moment of operation, with the one electro magnet a south and the adjacent eletro magnet a north, it causes the 3 permanent magnets to be pushed and pulled. It should be obvious that the operation of the opposite set of active electromagnets works exactly the same at the given moment. At this precise moment, the other two sets of electromagnets which is inactive, has each 2 permanent magnets right across it. With the rotor which is turning a few degrees the inactive electro magnets gets turned on and thus push the PM away as well, adding to the torque.
        I hope I made the operation a bit more understandable.
        I have considered the option of using a sequencer but came across this H-bridge IC and was wondering if it might work better.
        I don’t want to put the motor diagram on this forum but if you like, as to understand this motor’s operation i will send you a sketch of it to your personal email address.
        hope to hear again from you.

          Thank you Ben, I have already understood your explanation, and therefore I said 4 sets of electromagnets which corresponds to 8 electromagnets, where each pair is connected opposite to one another.

          H bridge cannot be used here, because H-bridge can be triggered only through 2 complementary pulses, for operating a single flip-flop load.

          If you are having other alternatives for operating this set up, then you can surely try them, because a Full bridge or an H bridge does not appear to be feasible for this application.

      Evans, for this you will have to integrate the SPWM to the low side MOSFFET gates, it is not difficult, but making the basic full bridge design could be difficult

          THe slow triangle to the op amp should come from the CT pin of the IC, and fast triangle can be from any other source such as IC 555 etc

              Feed 220V on the left side (220k side), adjust the preset until the transistor just activates. That’s all.

              You can replace the 3 V zener with an LED to get the direct indication of the cut off activation when the inverter output goes beyond 220 V

              Evans, it actually seems quite easy, since the external diodes are in a bridge formation, we simply need to cut off the gates of the MOSFETs from the oscillator IC through a DPDT relay, when AC mains is available at the grid output, Simultaneously, transformer secondary side will also need to be switched to the the grid AC side via another DPDT relay. By default the MOSFET gates must be connected to their sources via a 1k resistor.

              I will try to update the info through a new article soon.

              Evans, cutting of power to the oscillator IC should be a better option, which can done with a single SPDT relay. But make sure to keep a 1k resistor permanently connected across all the MOSFET gate source pins.

          Evans, if you do everything correctly then the chances of any damage to the MOSFETs can be less. You will have to experiment with the 1uF capacitor, which could be anywhere between 4.7uF to 22uF. While doing this make sure to connect a appropriate bulbs in series with the drains of the MOSFETs, the bulbs must not illuminate without a LOAD attached, this will confirm the inverter is working OK.

          Hi Evans, yes it can after adding a bridge rectifier. After rectification the output from the bridge will be 20 x 1.41 = 28.2 V.

          To know current output you can connect a 20 amp ammeter in the AC range directly across the secondary wires for a couple of seconds, and check the reading.

      Sheraz, the high pulses across Ct switches the high side and the low side outputs of the IC sequentially, therefore for completing each cycle (high + low switching) at the output, the Ct frequency will need to be 100 Hz, as per my understanding.

        as per the technical specs of the IC it can be kept unconnected, still to be entirely confirmed you can ground it through a 10K resistor….because only a high logic can enable a shut down on this pin….

      yogesh, as you can see, the mosfet positive is separate from the rectified line, the IC will need to be separately powered through a 15V source, while the mosfet rectified line from the intended high voltage source.

      the mosfets should be rated accordingly to prevent damage.

        Thanks for your reply sir! I will post only one thought. I want to construct something like a universal dimmer for all kind of loads (resistive, inductive) using the pwm pure sine technique. My main goal is to dimm, for example, filament light bulbs or leds lamps (in my country there are dimmable electronic transformers with dimmable led lights) or CFL lamps (only on/off without dimm). I found this link with a circuit but there are no values, and I don’t have an actual idea about how components value I need to start testing.

          alternatively you can probably try the following concept for achieving the results

            Hi Swagatam, thanks for your reply. I didn’t figured it out but as far as I saw the igbt acts just like a on/off switch, which operated correctly, supposedly, it will deliver the square wave at figure 7 on that link. Then the next network with two igbt’s I don’t know, and the L-C circuit it looks like to be a chebyshev low pass filter with order 2 to obtain a “sine” wave after the igbt modulation. (same as the beginning of the circuit network). I have tried to simulate over proteus just the first igbt, with a square wave on the gate, 50% duty cycle, but the result is not what I expected. Maybe I need to setup the entire circuit with thumb rule component values and… cross my fingers 😛

            Regarding the circuit you pointed me out, I have one question, In this one https://www.homemade-circuits.com/2016/05/h-bridge-mains-voltage-stabilizer.html you used an autotransformer at the “exit”. Is this necessary for a dimmer?

              Hi faktorqm, I tried to simulate the circuit in my mind and it seems the first IGBT will work correctly, however its gate voltage will need to be equal to the required output level, because since the output will be following the gate, the gate level will determine the output level. The other two IGbts probably are configured to function like high power switching diodes which work with the coil to form a buck converter kind of network, not entirely sure though.

              So technically even if the entire network of the inductor and the two IGBTs are removed still the design could be used to produce a pulsed sinewave by feeding a pulsed sinewave at the gate of the first IGBT, as per my assumption.

              In the circuit suggested by me, the coil is used for stepping up the voltage to some desired higher level during the low voltage conditions, in your case this trafo can be ignored and eliminated….

    Hi, yes that's correct, since the rectified bus voltage to the full bridge would be a DC, the frequency from the ferrite core trafo wouldn't have any impact on it.

    yes, 150V to the BUS line would allow you to get around 100V AC from the full bridge circuit, at a frequency determined by Rt/Ct

The output is a 17.3 AC voltage but the output from HO1 and HO2 have very bad negative and positive voltage spikes. It would be real helpful if i can bit of clarification regarding the spikes and how i can further improve the circuit.

      how much voltage are you using for the Vdd pin of the IC?

      make sure it's around 12V, if possible make it 12V and check the response.

      I hope you have positioned the reverse diodes across the mosfet gate resistors?

      other the these modifications, I don't see any other possible remedies for the preventing the spikes.

      and make sure the mosfets are connected as close as possible to the IC output pins.

      Daniel, the inverter power is not relevant, it's the connected load which needs to be taken into account.

      Assuming it to be 1000 watt, then by dividing 1000 by 12 gives = 83 amps…so you would require 83 amps with a 12V supply for satisfying a 1000 watt load.

      your battery is 100H rated meaning if it's discharged at 100ah rate it will last for 1 hour….but that's possible only in a hugely ideal situation, practically you can assume it to be just for 20 minutes.

      so at 100 amp your "fully charged" battery lasts for 20 minutes….therefore for 83 amps it will last for:

      100/83 = 20/t

      t = 16 minutes only…after this it will be dead flat….and if you continue to discharge it at this high rate within days your battery will be permanently dead.

      at 83 amp discharge rate the battery must be rated at 1000 AH

      you can use any standard 555 PWM circuit and feed it at the base of the driver transistor for controlling the RMS voltage, or alternatively you can simply drop the 12V to 9V using rectifier diodes in series with the battery positive for the same.

    Hello sir
    Is it completely safe to apply pwm to only low side of MOSFETs in full bridge only especially in this circuit where I would like to use your pwm circuit.?
    I am asking because i have been studying other drivers like the ir2110 which is another IC I am thinking of using as a back up if I can't find ir2453
    Now the thing is to implement full bridge using ir2110 I will need to use two of the IC's and then connect the lowside input LIN of ic1(ir2110) to the the high side input HIN of ic2(ir2110) so that that way diagonally they botje turn on causing current to flow but the catch here is that both inputs will receive PWM pulses( chopped 50hz pulses) so this means using the ir2110 the high side output will trigger the high side MOSFET as well as the low side mosfet with this pulses but I want to know it it will be suitable to drive the high side sufficiently.
    With this simple ir2453 we can just leave the high side pulse at line frequency (50hz) while we just pass PWM to low side only whixh is why I find it desirable as it saves lots of space and stress.
    But my main queation again is will both techniques be ok . just increasing my options.

    Hello Sir
    That means that the only down side to the h bridge would be that I would require double the amount of MOSFETs I would use for a push pull config.
    Example if I use these four N channel on push pull by using two per each side of push pull then at 300w per MOSFET then I would have 600w output. But for h bridge when diagonal are conducting the two diagonal are only supplying 300w when individually they can give 300w each and this is due to the series connection so to get 600w in h bridge I would use 8 n channel MOSFETs.
    Is my calculation correct according to your explanation?

      Michael, you are correct….but the H bridge trafo can be significantly smaller compared to a center tap topology…so it wins here, moreover you have the option of using higher voltages (upto even 60V or 100V) and get massive power outputs (kvas) without adding a single mosfet to the existing 4.

      Hello sir,
      The thing is I can afford to get two 12v batteries that's why I am planning to use 24v input but you just mentioned using higher voltage like 60v or up to 100 but that would mean I have two options
      1) using more batteries which I don't want to as more is expensive
      2)using a DC to DC converter
      Now If I use option 2 as option 1 is ruled out, it means more components added as I have to use oscillator like sg3524 and a small ferrite trafo (puah pull converter) which honestly means component count is getting higher.I don't want that as I want simplicity
      A) So I was thinking are there DC to DC converters that employ minimal components only and yet so simple and effective that I can use to convert 24v to 48v.?
      B) so if (A) is possible then I connect it to the h bridge, since diagonal high and low side MOSFETs conduct then when at full power the low MOSFETs will conduct a lot of current but my question is since the high side will also conduct current will the transformerless DC to DC converter withstand such current draw at full load to adequately complement its diagonal low side MOSFET.

      Hope you get where am coming from.I have seen h bridge inverters using push pull DC to DC converters whose output powers the drain of the mosfets high side but since the transformers are small yet current will flow through them when conducting.
      So basically it seems the DC to DC has to be able to output certain amount of current?

      Hello sir
      If complications arise I will stick to 24v direct from battery input and use as much MOSFETs as possible.I don't want complicated process.
      Unless you have a transformer less solution with stable output voltage. Ha ha

      Hello Michael,

      using a DC DC converter would be like using two inverters in series which could make the system inefficient….moreover to produce 25 amps from the DC t DC converter could be a complex affair as it would require heavy duty coils and mosfets involved.

      so it's better to go with a 24V battery directly with the designed inverter and use more mosfdets if required.

    Hello Sir
    Just to be clear, if i have an N channel MOSFET that gives out 300w.then I use four of this on h bridge config.(2 on high and 2 on low side) then my total output should be 1200w right?

      Hello micahel, no all the 4 together will help to produce 300 watts only, because the diagonal ones are conducting in series, so no question of power addition, while the left and the right diagonal pairs are conducting alternately.. so again no chance of power adding up.

      .
      Remember Power=Voltage times current
      If the Voltage across the FET is 1 Volt when on and the current rating is 300 amps that's 300 watts per FET that is on, at a 50% duty cycle, and if the output source is 12 volts after you subtract the FET voltage drops, that's 3600 watts output. total power consumption from source supply is ~ 4200 watts.

    Hello sir,
    I now understand am gratefull.
    I have one more question
    In push pull config, if I wanted more power output say from 500w to 2000w output I simply add more MOSFETs in parallel and its easier since we only deal with low side switching but now since full bridge uses four MOSFETs,
    Once I have my trafo say 0-12/2000w ready,
    How do I increase power output using h bridge (full bridge topology)
    Basically what do I so to increase power from say 500w to 2000w?
    Do I add MOSFETs to both low and high?
    Confused.

      Hello Michael, for an Hbridfge also you will need to add mosfets in parallel for multiplying power output…the rule is same…however you can alternatively decide on a higher voltage trafo…like a 48V primary trafo, and a 48V battery for the boosting power without having to use more number of mosfets.

    Could you explain what happens during the low and high side in terms of conducting. I think the low side MOSFET switch according to wave form at its gate but high side?

    • Swagatam says

      July 26, 2015 at 5:33 am

      the diagonal mosfets pairs are switched ON simultaneously, while the left and the right pairs switch ON alternately, generating the required AC across the connected trafo primary.

      while the diagonal mosfet switch ON, the high side mosfet is applied with an excess of 5 to 10V than its drain voltage so that it's able to switch ON fully and compliments the low side mosfet, making the conduction complete and full.

    Also sir one important question.
    Now using pwm we make it as close to a sine wave as possible but for a 12 supply we would need a 0-12/220v trafo but for pwm should it still be 0-12/220 or 0-7/220v to make up for the PWM sectioj just like in the center tap sine wave pwm inverters you have.

    Reply

      for a PWM insertion, the trafo voltage should be lower than the supply voltage to compensate the PWM range

    Hello sir
    His ic seems powerful and I think we can add pwm to the low side of the driver going to the gates but my question is this.
    You said that the gate voltage has to be at least 5v higher than drain voltage for the high side to function properly so now if I power the drain with a +24vdc supply and then use a 12v regulator to power the IC at pin 1, will sufficient voltage come out at the pin 13 and 9 high side output.? To work sufficiently.
    2)Also when using a 24vdc supply and 12 DC at pin 1 of the IC the 1uf/25v caps at 14 and 10 can it be increase to a higher capacitance/voltage?

      July 26, 2015 at 5:22 am

      Hello Michael,

      with a 12V as the supply to the IC the output at the high side pin would be 36V, which would imply an efective12V at the respective mosfet gate, which would be sufficient for driving the gate optimally.

      the capacitor voltage rating is relevant to the supply voltage so I think it can be selected to be 25V

      capacitance value are OK, no need of increasing it.

    Sir if i am using a 230 / 12-0-12 300W transformer and one car battery 12 V 35 Ah for producing a minimum of 230 V AC at 60 Hz having power rating minimum to 100 W. So…

    1). Could it be possible to connect this with the above circuit ?

    2). Will i get a minimum wattage of 100 W by doing these ?

    3). Can the output ac voltage finally produced be used to drive any sophisticated equipments ?

    My purpose is that to make a pure sine wave inverter suitable for operating the HOME THEATER in my CAR without making any humming noise while operating the System…
    I am not interested to make modified inverters based on PWM concepts, since they require a better mean such as OSCILLOSCOPE to display and analyze the wave forms formed…

      Arun,
      for the above design you will need a two wire transformer not a center tap type…0-12V will do, or 0-9V

      Without PWMs, a sine wave is not possible.

      you can try putting a 1uF/400V capacitor and a 3amp 1mH inductor approx at the output of a square inverter for reducing the hum.

      wattage of an inverter solely depends on the transformer wattage and the battery AH, driver circuits have nothing to do with it.

So, this bridge produces the full cycle once again at 50Hz to make output usable. If so, then please let me know that why above 300v is required? why only 280-290v is not enough? and also i designed another schematic for driving H bridge let me know if its OK. here it is :

      Hello Carmen, Actually it should be 310V, because our home mains 220V AC has a peak level of 310V, while the RMS value is 220V, therefore we have to make sure that in our inverter output too the peaks are at 310V, while the RMS is set at 220V
