A New Method of Switching Loss Evaluation for GaN HEMTs in Half-Bridge Configuration

Test setup using DC metering approach for loss measurements of inductive components – principle, characterization, validation and application

“…This fact is also supported by the literature, as the DCmetering method is also applied to switching loss measurements, where all other losses within the circuit, including the inductor, are accurately assessed [25,26]. The switching losses can then be gained by the input power and all other losses within the circuit [27]. Thus, for switching loss measurement, the DCmetering approach starts to replace the conventional double pulse test, which is a kind of AC-metering.…”
