A similar circuit as Fig. 12 can be realized with MOSFET or IGBT devices configured as bi-directional pairs in the output bridge. In this case, the complete process in Fig. 8 would be needed to generate the complete 50% gate drive pulses. The 50% gate pulses still support pulse transformer coupling, retaining the simplicity of the gate drive isolation. The PWM cycloconverter process scales directly to higher switching speeds possible with these devices.
