Abstract

In this paper, a SiC MOSFETs gate driver for parallel connections is proposed and implemented. The proposed design enhances the reliability of parallel-connected SiC MOSFETs in high-frequency applications. High-speed over-current protections are applied for both over-voltage and under-voltage situations. In addition, a dynamic balancing current sharing scheme for SiC MOSFETs is proposed for high-speed parallel applications by current feedback and switching delay time compensation. With the proposed design, parallel-connected SiC MOSFETs can work at an operation frequency of 1 MHz with over-current protections. In addition, with the dynamic current balancing scheme, the operation temperature decreases from 115 to 86.9 °C, while the temperature difference for paralleled devices drops from 25.8 to 1.8 °C.
