Abstract-This paper describes commutation overvoltage suppression methods by means of gate voltage and current control. Power IGBT gate drive circuits are compared in order to estimate the most compact and efficient topology in terms of gate charge and discharge current. Suggestions for further development of such drivers are made.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
