The matrix converter is an advanced circuit topology that offers many advantages such as ability to regenerate energy back to the utility. It is very simple in structure and has powerful controllability. In matrix converter, input voltage is equal to output voltage. In matrix converter the bidirectional switch itself is used as the freewheeling paths with carefully arranged switching sequences, thus providing the required freewheeling operation similar to those available in other converter topologies. This paper presents the function of single phase matrix converter (SPMC) as a cycloconverter, an inverter and as a rectifier. Logic gates are used to generate control pulses for the matrix converter switches to produce output. The metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) is used for the switching device. The switching sequences for the matrix converter to operate as a cycloconverter, an inverter and as a rectifier are presented and assessed using MATLAB/Simulink (MLS) with the SimPowerSystem block set and the results of simulations are presented to evaluate the behavior and feasibility of the proposed topology. The operation of proposed system has been found satisfactory.
