6.3 IGBT Turn-off (300V, 25A, 150°C)

The simplified circuit of the IGBT turn-off testbench is shown in Figure 26. Please note that the

environmental conditions are different from a standard characterization testbench, where the maximum

module performance is characterized. The gate driver has in this setup +15V/0V supply and Rg,off=2.2Ω. No

booster stage is implemented. The gate driver achieves in this case ≈1.7A peak current. The IGBT module

and gate driver circuit has no clamping circuits to limit Vce overshoot.

Figure 26 Equivalent circuit of the IGBT turn-off testbench. DUT is the low right IGBT. The low side

shunt is bridged and the current Ic is measured with a Rogowski current probe.
