Abstract
Numerous Active Gate Driver (AGD) topologies have been reported in the literature. As each option addresses a different application space, designers often struggle to select the most appropriate solution. This paper therefore introduces an Active Gate Driver Figure of Merit (AGD-FOM) that quantifies the switching-loss reduction achievable over the full driving cycle of an electric vehicle, thereby enabling a systematic comparison of competing AGDs. The AGD-FOM is evaluated for several SiC MOSFET AGD concepts using both measured and intrinsic channel switching-loss data. The study shows that even comparatively simple AGDs can already harvest a large share of the theoretically attainable switching-loss reduction, especially at turn-off. Moreover, the results underline that intrinsic channel switching losses must be considered to obtain a fair and meaningful assessment of AGD performance.
