Design optimization of quasi-active gate control for series-connected power devices

This paper presents a new gate drive circuit for driving a series string of IGBTs. The proposed quasi active gate control (QAGC) circuit is simple to implement as it composes of only a few passive components in addition to a standard gate driver. No separate isolation power supply is required for th...
