| Abstract |
A new driving strategy for 3300V-1200A IGBT modules is presented. It
improves the IGBT turn-on on inductive load in terms of power dissipation,
respecting diode reverse recovery constraint and without complicating too much
driver design.
It is based on a suitable construction of collector current waveform, whose
optimized form is obtained by a proper control of the gate resistance during
switching operations. Such method allows us to obtain easily an up to 24%
reduction of energy dissipation compared with the conventional resistivecapacitive
driver, without any relevant hardware addiction. |
