Gate Drive Solutions For CoolGaN 600 V HEMTs


This paper explains the gate drive requirements for Infineon’s CoolGaN 600 V e-mode HEMTs. Various driving solutions are discussed, ranging from the standard RC-coupled driver to a new differential drive concept utilizing dedicated gate driver ICs. In half-bridge topologies, a hybrid configuration combining isolated and non-isolated drivers could be an exciting alternative. Practical applicat... » read more
