Abstract

The dynamic current imbalance in the power modules with paralleled Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFETs appears due to the die parameter variations and layout asymmetry. This can force the derating of a power module and decrease reliability, potentially leading to a thermal runaway. In this work, an optimization scheme, compensating for the layout asymmetry using the individual gate and drive source resistances is presented. The results are verified experimentally in a Double Pulse Test setup.
