5 Centralized Architecture

In centralized architecture, all high-side and low-side gate drivers are supplied using a single isolated bias power supply device. This can be the most cost-effective design. On the other side, a failure in this device results into a single point failure and all gate drivers lose the power supply at the same time. Another challenge with this type of architecture is to design a transformer with 6 secondary windings (Pri:Sec = 1:6) and complex PCB layout due to long PCB traces. Therefore, it is difficult to achieve tight voltage regulation in this architecture. Centralized architecture is not commonly used in traction inverters.
