Excerpt

For some electronic switches, like IGBTs, optimising the control of the switching process is very difficult because of their deep non-linearity. Moreover, during the commutation process, semiconductor switch performance is mainly driven by overvoltage and junction temperature. Overvoltage depends on the speed of the current changes in the high frequency loops (HFL) and the value of the parasitic inductance of the HFL. Eliminating the connections and the isolations which create inductances and capacitors is not possible. The layout imposes a limit above which the speed of the power electronic switch must not exceed. TM4 introduces a solution. …
