Summary: topologies with limited superjunction use
Bipolar current flow topologies
– Anywhere diode recovery is important
Half-bridge hard-switching
– Totem-pole bridgeless boost CCM (except line polarity
switch)
– Inverters, motor drives
Half-bridge soft-switching or resonant? Depends…
– Limited frequency range
– Risk of hard-switching
– Frequency dependent losses in Qoss
