Abstract:This is the first high-temperature static and dynamic characterization of a half-bridge power module using 1200 V, 45 mΩ depletion-mode vertical JFETs. With only 36 mm2 of JFET area, the peak pulsed current is measured to be nearly 500 A at room temperature (transistors not saturated), decreasing to 230 A at 250 °C (transistors saturated). Total switching losses are less than 3.2 mJ from 25 °C to 250 °C and show negligible dependence on junction temperature. The achievement of this level of performance with su… Show more
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.
