This paper deals with the mitigation of the overvoltages and the high frequency oscillations resulting from the fast switch- ing of high voltage e-mode GaN HEMTs. The investigation is carried out referring to a half bridge including the power transistors package parasitics and the printed circuit boards stray inductances. The impact of the gate drivers strength on the above mentioned quantities is evaluated through time domain analysis by changing the width of the transistors composing the gate driver output stage. A criterion to perform the partitioning of such transistors that allow for a fine control of overvoltages and ringing is proposed, then used to design a segmented gate driver.

Abstract

This paper deals with the mitigation of the overvoltages and the high frequency oscillations resulting from the fast switch- ing of high voltage e-mode GaN HEMTs. The investigation is carried out referring to a half bridge including the power transistors package parasitics and the printed circuit boards stray inductances. The impact of the gate drivers strength on the above mentioned quantities is evaluated through time domain analysis by changing the width of the transistors composing the gate driver output stage. A criterion to perform the partitioning of such transistors that allow for a fine control of overvoltages and ringing is proposed, then used to design a segmented gate driver.
