The effects due to package parasitics of a PEBB-1 module in an ARCP circuit

The parasitic capacitances, self-, and mutual-inductances of the Power Electronic Building Block (PEBB-1) module are extracted using a 3-D field solver. The elements are included in a circuit simulation of the Auxiliary Resonantly Commutated Pole (ARCP) converter topology. Comparisons of the performance with and without the parasitic elements is provided. Alternate control schemes are evaluated to compensate for the increased package losses.
