High Voltage Bus soft-start
May 13th, 2010, 1:06pm
 
Hi,
If I was trying to use provide a soft-start to a High Voltage bus, i was thinking of PWMing the bus FET and using an inductor to limit the inrush current while the Load's input Caps are charging.  I couldnt find any mosfet or igbt gate driver chips that would stay on 100% duty cycle after the soft start, so was thinking of doing something like this pics.  Does this seem like it'd work? Anyone know of a half-bridge IC that would work, and would also have the ability to switch on the high side permanently once i'm done with the soft-start? Or would i need to just turn off the chip completely, and provide control for another high side switch to keep the +315V at the bus FET gate?
And im having no luck finding the 600 to low voltage DC converters.

Thanks alot!
