    This document discusses how a lack of or short dead time can cause heating issues in H-bridge transistor circuits. H-bridge circuits switch transistors on diagonally to avoid "shoot through", which occurs if transistors on the same side turn on simultaneously. To prevent shoot through, a small delay called dead time is introduced when switching transistors to ensure one side is fully off before the other turns on. A lack of or short dead time can cause shoot through, producing heat, smoke and potential transistor failure.

    20th May 2017 Heating solution for H bridge transistor circuits


    I want to talk about one of the major cause of heating in  H bridge and half
    bridge circuits which finally leads to failure. Though transistors in H bridge
    or half bridge may fail for many reasons, the most common cause of
    failure is "NO or SHORT DEAD TIME".

     DEAD TIME OF H BRIDGE CIRCUIT

    From the theory behind H bridge mosfets or H bridge transistor circuits,


    power is delivered to the load when two diagonal transistors turns on. That
    is either (B and C ) or (A and D) from the image above.

    The H bridge circuit is divided into two sides: Left side and right side. One
    of the principles guarding all H bridge circuits is that:
    NO TRANSISTORS FROM THE SAME SIDE SHOULD TURN ON AT THE
    SAME TIME. Eg. A and C  or B and D.

    When transistors from same side turns on, a phenomenon called shoot
    through will occur and that will produce a blasting sound, nice smell and 
    beautiful smoke.

    In order to avoid shoot through, H bridge and half bridge circuit should be
    driven in such a way that, transistors from same side does not turn on and
    also transistors are only turn on diagonally.

    In other to ensure that transistors are turned on only diagonally,  a small


    delay time known as dead time is introduced in the switching circuit. The
    delay circuit is ensures that one diagonal switch side is completely turned
    off before the next diagonal turns on.
