High switching performance of 1.7kV, 50A SiC power MOSFET over Si IGBT for advanced power conversion applications

Efficiency improvement and power loss breakdown for a Lundell-alternator/active-rectifier system in automotive applications

“…The results in the previous section showed the effect of changing the number of commutations in the electrical efficiency of the rectifier but there is still a need to quantify the actual switching losses, establish their share on the total losses figure and explore opportunities for further loss reduction. The double pulse test allows the estimation of switching losses, which depend on the voltage, the current, the switching frequency, the semiconductor device turn-on and turn-off times and the PCB layout [13]. The design of the PCB is of crucial importance to switching losses because it might introduce stray inductance that increases these losses [13].…”

“…The double pulse test allows the estimation of switching losses, which depend on the voltage, the current, the switching frequency, the semiconductor device turn-on and turn-off times and the PCB layout [13]. The design of the PCB is of crucial importance to switching losses because it might introduce stray inductance that increases these losses [13]. The results of the double pulse test give the switching energy loss during the turn-on and turn-off transient of a single MOSFET including the aforementioned dependencies in this practical experiment.…”
