It has been demonstrated that Enhancement-mode GaN HEMT(eGaN HEMT) has lower conduction losses and higher switching speed. However, higher switching speed will cause higher dVDS/dt leading to worse crosstalk problems. This paper analyzes the mechanism of crosstalk for eGaN HEMT first. Then, the mathematical model of crosstalk voltage and its influence factors are given. A double pulse test model is established and three kinds of crosstalk suppression methods without auxiliary circuit are simulated and compared. The simulation results may give a guideline for choosing which method in specific situation.
