Active Gate Control for Parallel Operation of IGBT Devices
Asymmetry in power circuit layout, mismatch in gate drive circuits, and lack of carefully matched device selection commonly result in dynamic and static current mismatch during parallel operation of IGBT devices. This paper is aimed at presenting a technique for actively controlling the gate drive of the IGBT to ensure appropriate current sharing under transient and steady state conditions. The...
متن کاملHybrid SiC Power Module with Low Power Loss
Mitsubishi Electric has developed a 1.7 kV hybrid SiC power module consisting of 6th generation Si-IGBT and SiC Schottky Barrier Diode (SBD). Adopting SiC-SBD enables a significant power loss reduction during the diode turn-off and IGBT turn-on. And adopting of 6th generation IGBT enables the reduction of the IGBT turn-off loss. By using the newly developed chip set, high temperature enduring g...
متن کاملTurn-On Oscillation Damping for Hybrid IGBT Modules
In a hybrid IGBT module with SiC diodes as free-wheeling diodes, high frequency oscillation occurs during turn-on due to the fast switching transient of SiC diode and the resonance between circuit parasitic inductances and the junction capacitance of SiC diode. Such oscillation causes EMI noise which may affect the performance of the system. Methods to mitigate the turn-on oscillation are studi...
