Switching transients in high-frequency high-power converters using power MOSFET'S

Abstract

The use of metal-oxide-semiconductor field­ effect transistors in de-to-de converters as the controlled switch has become practical with the development of power MOSFET's. The use of these devices in parallel in a high-frequency high­ voltage high-power converter is investigated. Stray circuit inductances in a two-winding volt­ age-or-current step-up converter have a pronounced effect on some of the currents and voltages during the turning-on and turning-off intervals.
