Abstract:
Parallel placement and current imbalance are widely discussed in the application of GaN devices to high-power inverters. This paper describes a circuit layout that reduces the parasitic component of the printed circuit board by mounting GaN devices in 12 parallel in a three-phase inverter circuit. The current imbalance in the multi-pulse test is less than 20% at 600 A current output.
