Switching losses in power devices: From dynamic on resistance to output capacitance hysteresis

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Remco Franciscus Peter van Erp, Armin Jafari, Palliyage Srilak Nirmana Perera, Hongkeng Zhu

In this paper, we review some of the main methods to characterize on-state and off-state losses in wide-band-gap devices under switching conditions. In the off-state, we will discuss about losses related to charging and discharging the output capacitance i ...

Investigation of Dynamic RON in p-GaN Gate HEMTs under Steady-State Soft-Switching: Roles of OFF-State Trapping and Hole Injections

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Hongkeng Zhu

Dynamic ON-resistance (RON) in GaN HEMTs is a critical issue for power electronics efficiency. This paper proposes a novel method to measure dynamic (RON) under long-term OFF-state drain-stress and steady-state soft-switching, comparing Schottky-type (GaN- ...

Accurate Measurement of Dynamic ON-Resistance in GaN Transistors at Steady-State

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Hongkeng Zhu

Accurate characterization of the dynamic ON-resistance (RON) degradation is important to predict conduction losses for gallium nitride high-electron-mobility transistors (GaN HEMTs). However, even for the same device, many inconsistent results of dynamic R ...

Soft-Switching CO Hysteresis Losses in GaN HEMTs: A Resonant-Sawyer-Tower Measurement Method

Yoan Sedjro Codjia, Yassin Bashar Salih Al-Nuaimee, Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Hongkeng Zhu, Yuan Zong

The inherent dissipated energy losses (Ediss) during the charging-discharging cycle of output capacitance (CO) in gallium nitride high-electron-mobility transistors (GaN HEMTs) limit their efficiency in soft-switching applications. Accurate characterizatio ...
