In a phase-leg configuration, the high-switching-speed performance of silicon carbide (SiC) devices is limited by interaction between upper and lower during switching transient (crosstalk), leading to additional losses overstress power devices. To utilize full potential fast SiC devices, this paper proposes two gate assist circuits actively suppress crosstalk on basis intrinsic properties One circuit employs an auxiliary transistor in series with capacitor mitigate loop impedance reduction....

The double pulse test (DPT) is a widely accepted method to evaluate the dynamic behavior of power devices. Considering high switching-speed capability wide band-gap devices, results are very sensitive alignment voltage and current (V-I) measurements. Also, because shoot-through induced by Cdv/dt (i.e., cross-talk), switching losses nonoperating switch device in phase-leg must be considered addition operating device. This paper summarizes key issues DPT, including components layout design,...
