Turn-Off Energy Minimization for Soft-Switching Power Converters with Wide Bandgap Devices
Abstract
The advent of Silicon-Carbide and Gallium-Nitride MOSFETs offers potential to realize higher energy density power converters operating at increased switching frequencies. The maximum switching frequency in a power converter is limited by the ability of the switching device package to dissipate its switching and conduction losses. At a given value of drain-source voltage and current, the turn-on losses in a MOSFET are usually greater than the …
