This paper presents the design of a 25-kW Dual Active Bridge (DAB) converter based on parallel-connected SiC MOSFETs with the aim of demonstrating the applicability of discrete solutions for medium-power applications. A symmetric layout for the related gate-driving paths has been implemented and an experimental characterization of the DAB converter has been carried out considering different operating conditions in terms of input/output voltages and output power. The performances achieved in terms of electrical and thermal behavior of the paralleled SiC devices validate the proposed symmetric design.
