Abstract:
Hybrid switches consisting of a Si-IGBT and a SiCMOSFET are a promising alternative for power loss reduction for example in resonant topologies. The parallel connection of two different power semiconductor technologies combines a lot of parameters which have to be analysed in detail for an optimisation. In this paper, a concept of an automated test bench for measuring varieties of operating points concerning such hybrid switches with a minimum of personal attention and time is presented.
