A Comparison of the Hard-Switching Performance of 650 V Power Transistors With Calorimetric Verification

We compare the switching losses of four equivalent silicon and wide-bandgap 650 V power transistors operated in a hard-switched half-bridge configuration, switching 400 V at 40 A. Each transistor is mounted on an identical PCB and driven by a gate drive circuit matched to its requirements. Switching...
