This component returns the firing pulse and the Interpolated Time Tag required for an interpolated turn-ON (or turn-OFF) of thyristors, IGBTs and GTOs, in the form of a two-element array. The first output element is a 0 or 1 and represents the actual gate control pulse. The second is information regarding the interpolated switching time.
The output is based on a comparison of high (H) and low (L) input signals. The low L input is normally a firing angle (a) order and the high H input is from a phase-locked oscillator or equivalent. The Interpolated Firing Pulses component can be set to produce timed firing pulses for:
A single GTO/IGBT
A 6-Pulse GTO/IGBT bridge
A single thyristor
NOTE: If a GTO or IGBT is used, then an input signal comparison is provided for the OFF signal as well.
