We propose a gate boost circuit to reduce the switching loss and delay time without increasing the switching noise. The proposed gate driver enables converter-level efficiency improvements or power density enhancements. SiC MOSFETs have attracted significant interest as the next generation power devices. In general, the switching performance of power devices exhibits a trade-off between switching loss and noise. SiC-MOSFETs are expected to switch faster than Silicon IGBTs; however, faster switching might cause switching noise problems such as unwanted electromagnetic interferences (EMI). In this paper, we propose a gate driver topology that improves the switching performance of SiC-MOSFETs, and confirm the reduction in switching loss and delay time through experimental results.本誌: IEEJ Journal of Industry Applications Vol.7 No.3 (2018) Special Issue on “SPC-Power Electronics and Its Applications”本誌掲載ページ: 218-228 p原稿種別: 論文/英語電子版へのリンク: https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/ieejjia/7/3/7_218/_article/-char/ja/
