SiC and GaN power transistors switching energy are compared in this paper. In order to compare switching energy Esw of the same power rating device, a theoretical analysis is given to compare SiC device conduction loss and switching losses change when device maximal blocking voltage reduces by half. After that, Esw of a 650V GaN-HEMT is measured in hard switching condition and is compared with that...
This paper presents a novel packaging structure which employs stacked substrate and flexible printed circuit board (PCB) to obtain very low parasitic inductance and hence feature high switching speed SiC power devices. A half-bridge module aimed at blocking voltage up to 2.5kV has been designed to accommodate 8 SiC JFETs and 4 SiC diodes. Electromagnetic simulation results reveal extremely low inductance...
Simulations of quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) on classical computers are highly limited due to the exponential growth in resources required for the numerical simulation of quantum mechanics involving networks of finite state nodes. Recent advancements in computing based on networks of flux-qubits, and in particular the platform technology developed by D-Wave Systems Inc., have made it possible...
This paper presents a new gate drive circuit for driving a series string of insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs). The proposed quasi-active gate control (QAGC) circuit is simple to implement as it consists of only a few passive components in addition to a standard gate driver. No separate isolation power supply is required for the upper devices in the stack. The proposed QAGC circuit provides...
A novel approach for controlling series strings of voltage driven devices (e.g. JFET, MOSFET, IGBT) is presented that allows high voltage switches to be constructed from lower voltage devices. The approach allows controlled voltage sharing under steady-state and transient conditions and is achieved using a simple passive gate-side control circuit of resistors, capacitors, diodes and Zener diodes....
