BaSIC(DMM) for GaN HEMT
摘要
GaN HEMT devices (Cascode, p-GaN, GaN MISHEMT) have been found to exhibit poor (<0.5 μs) short-circuit withstand time at high DC bus voltages with normal on-state gate drive. The dramatic improvement in short-circuit withstand time that is achievable using the BaSIC topology is demonstrated in this chapter. The BaSIC topology was implemented using a gate-source shorted (GSS) and low voltage Si depletion mode MOSFET (DMM) in series with the source of the GaN transistors.
