    Digital Phase Control using IGBTs

    Wow, thanks for the reply. That was 11 years ago and I ended up abandoning that project. I still have a bunch of the components and half-made circuit boards lying around, funnily enough, but I haven't really touched any electrical engineering type stuff in a long time. I ended up becoming a...

    Digital Phase Control using IGBTs

    My goal is to implement digitally-controlled reverse-phase-control (dimming) of 120V/60Hz AC power, using IGBTs as the switching device and a micro-controller to control them. The reason I am using IGBTs instead of TRIACs is because TRIACs cannot realize reverse-phase-control. IGBTs can, and can...
