Abstract

The poor body diode performance of the first generation of 10kV SiC MOSFETs and the parasitic turn-on phenomenon limit the performance of SiC based converters. Both these problems can potentially be mitigated using a split output topology. In this paper we present a comparison between a classical half bridge and a split-output power module. It is found that the peak current during turn-on is reduced significantly, however some additional challenges arise during implementation.
