Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) High-power / high-voltage converters are used in housings for industrial and automotive applications, and insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) are still the mainstream today as internal switching devices. In this paper, we propose a circuit that uses the voltage generated by the DC-DC converter as the voltage source of the IGBT gate drive circuit. The purpose is to improve IGBT reliability and electromagnetic interference (EMI) reduction by controlling the drive power supply and suppressing the voltage surge and reverse recovery current generated in driving the IGBT. It is confirmed whether or not the gate drive waveform of the IGBT can be controlled by simulation and experiment.
