Abstract:
The driving requirements for SiC BJTs, SiC MOSFETs and Si IGBTs will be analyzed in this paper. The switching characteristics of the SiC devices and the Si IGBT will be presented using different driver concepts. Total losses of a power electronics system and its applicability will be evaluated.
