Summary:The matrix converter is an array of controlled semiconductor
switches that connects directly the three-phase source to the
three-phase load. This converter has several attractive features that
have been investigated in the last two decades. In the last few years,
an increase in research work has been observed, bringing this topology
closer to the industrial application. This paper presents the
state-of-the-art view in the development of this converter, starting
with a brief historical review. An important part of the paper is
dedicated to a discussion of the most important modulation and control
strategies developed recently. Special attention is given to present
modern methods developed to solve the commutation problem. Some new
arrays of power bidirectional switches integrated in a single module are
also presented. Finally, this paper includes some practical issues
related to the practical application of this technology, like
overvoltage protection, use of filters and ride-through capability
