Abstract

In high-power applications, parallel connection of discrete silicon carbide (SiC)mosfets is necessary to increase the current rating. However, the unbalanced dynamic current during switching transient may cause unequal power loss and thermal distribution, which is a great challenge in parallel applications. In this article, a dynamic current balancing method based on a new active gate driver (AGD) is proposed to improve the current sharing. The principle of the AGD is based ondi/dtfeedback control and voltage controlled current source to adjust gate drive current of SiCmosfets. Therefore, the switching trajectory of the paralleled devices can be changed to achieve current balance. In addition, by using master-slave control strategy, the proposed AGD can be easily used for multiple paralleled devices. The double pulse tests are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed AGD. For two paralleled devices, the turn-onand turn-offswitching energy imbalances are reduced from 13.4% and 56.0% (12.1% and 52.9%) to 8.8% and 15.3% (8.0% and 8.8%) by the current source (current sink) circuit. For six paralleled devices, the degrees of turn-onand turn-offswitching energy imbalances can be reduced from 21.8% and 16.1% to 11.8% and 7.8% by the proposed AGD.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
