Abstract
A circuit solution to the normally-ON property of the normally-ON silicon carbide junction field-effect transistor, namely the self-powered gate driver, has been recently proposed. This letter sheds some light on the design process of the self-powered gate driver concept as well as limitations from the system perspective. It is experimentally shown that the parameters of the self-powered gate driver must be chosen taking into account a tradeoff between a fast response and stable operation of the driver. Moreover, the influence of the shoot-through current in the fast activation of the self-powered gate driver is also presented.
