摘要
In this paper, inductive-load switching of a high voltage lateral JFET (HV-LJFET) on 4H-SiC is investigated with a monolithically integrated driver and with an external driver for high frequency, high temperature applications. A new 'capacitor-coupled' gate driver circuitry is proposed and optimized to utilize a standard MOS driver and enable fast switching speed without the need for a negative power supply. Switching times and losses of the SiC HV-LJFET are characterized under various driver conditions and device temperatures. The results reveal that the temperature-independent, high switching speed of the SiC LJFET makes it possible to hard-switch at 3MHz, 200V, 1.2A and 250 degrees C with good efficiency, significantly higher than silicon devices with similar voltage ratings.
