ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of the invention relate generally to semiconductors for power generation and conversion applications, and more particularly, to devices, integrated circuits, substrates, and methods to convert direct current (“DC”) voltage signals to alternating current (“AC”) voltage signals. In some embodiments, an inverter can include a modulator configured to convert a direct current signal into a first variable signal, and a transformation module configured to step up the first variable signal to form a second variable signal. The transformation module can be configured to generate a first portion of the second variable signal and a second portion of the second variable signal. Further, the inverter can include a waveform generator configured to synchronize the first portion and the second portion of the second variable signal at a frequency to generate an alternating current (“AC”) signal.
