<p>Silicon Carbide (SiC), new power switches (PSW) require new driver circuits which can take advantage of their new capabilities. In this paper a novel Gallium Nitride (GaN) based gate driver is proposed as a solution to control SiC power switches. The proposed driver is implemented and is performance compared with its silicon (Si) counterparts on a hard switching environment. A thorough evaluation of the energy involved in the switching process is presented showing that the GaN based circuit exhibits similar output losses but reduces the control power needed to operate at a specified frequency.</p>

This paper presents an overview of the main technical requirements of high voltage Silicon Carbide MOSFETs rated above 3300V when compared to the well-established requirements of Silicon IGBTs and diodes. Combined with a performance evaluation of existing 3300 V SiC MOSFET prototypes from ROHM, the paper will discuss the benefits and challenges facing these devices for targeting mainstream and future topologies employed in high power applications such as those in grid systems, railway traction and industrial drives. The paper will also attempt to provide an outlook into potential development trends towards exploiting the full benefits of SiC MOSFETs.
