Abstract

Wide band gap device, like SiC and GaN, have high switching speed potential. However, the actual speed in practical use is limited by the gate loop parasitic and the interaction between high side switch and low side switch in a single phase-leg configuration known as cross-talk. This paper proposes an isolated current source gate driver (CSGD) with cross-talk suppression capability to take full advantage of the inherent high switching speed ability of WBG device. The current source is better than voltage source since it can ignore the gate loop parasitic inductance. And by applying variable gate voltage, the cross-talk problem can be mitigated. LTspice simulation and experiment results based on 1.2kV Wolfspeed SiC MOSFET are shown in this paper to verify the proposed gate driver.
