EMC Improvement with New Architectures of Gate Drivers for SiC MOSFET Devices
Résumé
This paper presents gate driver architectures to improve the common mode current in the full-bridge
topology with a phase-shift modulation. The classical gate driver architecture associated to the full-bridge
is simulated to evaluate the parasitic circulating current. A new architecture (cascaded architecture) is
proposed so as to change the impedance of common mode current pathway: simulations validate the
concept. Then, experimental results confirm that the cascaded architecture is better than the classical
one. Furthermore, other architectures are proposed and experimental results permit to compared the five
proposed architectures to the classical one
