Gate drivers provide the first line of defense against short-circuit faults on power semiconductor devices. When comparing different types of power semiconductor technologies – IGBTs v. silicon carbide, for example – there are differences in the short circuit withstand capabilities. This Tech Chat discusses reasons for SiC module failure and how a gate driver’s fast fault detection and protection can improve reliability of a SiC device.
