Abstract
This paper seeks a simple, cost effective and compact gate drive circuit for bi-directional switch of matrix converter. Principals of IGBT commutation and bi-directional switch commutation in matrix converters are reviewed. Three simple IGBT gate drive circuits are presented and simulated in PSpice and simulation results are approved by experiments in the end of this paper. Paper concludes with comparative numbers of gate drive costs.
