Abstract:
In this paper, the influence of avalanche event parameters on energy balancing in paralleled SiC MOSFETs has been investigated to support the understanding of underlying interrelationships. The outcome of these investigations helps in understanding the robustness limits of paralleled SiC MOSFETs in power electronic applications and in evaluating the reduction in robustness due to imbalance-induced derating.
