  • Effect of External Gate-Emitter Capacitance on Turn-Off Loss of IGBT Devices

抄録

<p>Although an external gate-emitter capacitance (CGE(ext)) has been proposed to reduce the turn-on loss of insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs), its effect on the turn-off loss (Eoff) has not been investigated in detail. In this study, the effect of CGE(ext) on Eoff in an IGBT was investigated. In the case of a relatively low gate resistance (RG), CGE(ext) does not affect Eoff; thus, the turn-off behavior is independent of CGE(ext) and RG. In contrast, in the case of a relatively high RG, CGE(ext) affects Eoff. When CGE(ext) is connected to the input terminal of an IGBT, the dVCE/dt decreases owing to the increase in the effective gate charge (QG) due to the addition of CGE(ext), thereby increasing the value of Eoff.</p>
