3.2.2.1. Six-switch Power Converter

The six-switch converter comprises six Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) or any other suitable power transistor with antiparallel diodes. The circuit consists of three half-bridges, and each half-bridge is connected to a voltage phase.

In this Simulink* model, to obtain synthesizable HDL code, each half-bridge is modeled as one voltage switch and two current switches, and the outputs of such blocks are a voltage, a current_high, and a current_low.
