Description

This reference design implements a 600W bidirectional single-stage DC-AC inverter based on cycloconverter (AC-DAB) topology and TI GaN power stages. The design supports up to 60V and ±16A on the DC side and on the single-phase, 230VAC and 2.6A. The inverter supports bidirectional power flow and can be used for various applications, such as a solar micro inverter or Battery Energy Storage System (BESS).
