Double pulse test under 800 V is carried out to evaluate the switching behavior for the different adjustable gate drive strengths. The following results show the difference between weak drive (5 A) and strong drive (15 A). The waveforms of the gate-source voltage, drain-source voltage and drain currents are shown in the following figures. The turn off energy is measured at the end of the first pulse, while the turn on energy is measured at the beginning of the second pulse. The measurement results are presented in Figure 3-19.
Weak drive (5 A) | Strong drive (15 A) | |
---|---|---|
Turn-off energy | 5.65 mJ | 2.77 mJ |
Turn-on energy | 6.46 mJ | 3.13 mJ |
