Product Overview

The AuMi 1 kW inverter is a fully in-house designed power conversion system using a full H-bridge topology driven by the SG3525A current-mode PWM IC. Complementary gate drive is handled by the IR2110 high-side/low-side MOSFET driver, ensuring precise switching timings and bootstrap-powered high-side control. Four IRF3205 N-channel power MOSFETs form the H-bridge switching stage, and the output is boosted via an in-house wound EI-core step-up transformer to deliver 230 V AC at 50 Hz.

Design Philosophy

The design prioritises component availability, repairability, and thermal headroom. All semiconductors are chosen from in-stock inventory used across AuMi's power electronics lab. The SG3525A delivers stable dead-time control between the two bridge legs, preventing shoot-through while maintaining clean waveform symmetry.

A single IR2110 drives one leg of the H-bridge per IC (two ICs total), providing isolated high-side bootstrap gate drive without an isolated power supply — keeping the design compact and cost-effective. The IRF3205 MOSFETs (55 V, 110 A, 8 mΩ RDS(on)) offer generous current margins at 24 V and 48 V bus voltages.

Key Features

Designed with industrial-grade component selection, field-repairability, and dual-voltage battery compatibility as core requirements.

SG3525A PWM Core

Voltage-mode PWM IC with adjustable frequency, built-in dead-time, and soft-start for clean H-bridge control at 50 Hz.

IR2110 Gate Drivers

High-side bootstrap gate drivers per bridge leg — isolated high-side switching without a separate isolated power supply.

IRF3205 Power MOSFETs

55 V / 110 A N-channel MOSFETs with 8 mΩ RDS(on) — extremely low conduction losses and high current headroom at both 24 V and 48 V.

Dual Battery Voltage

Configurable for 24 V or 48 V battery banks by selecting the corresponding transformer tap — ideal for both home inverter and solar systems.

In-House Transformer

AuMi-wound EI-core step-up transformer tuned for 24 V→230 V and 48 V→230 V with matched turns ratio and thermal design for 1 kW continuous.

Protections

Over-current shutdown via SG3525A current limit pin, thermal fuse on transformer, and input polarity protection on the DC bus.
