Parasitic
inductance causes voltage overshoot and oscillations in classic hard-switched commutation
cells and power modules. Newly introduced silicon-based resistive capacitors
(SiRC) can short the switching cell inside the power module itself and thereby
unlink external parasitic inductance. Classic and mechanically robust power
modules are now capable of switching large currents with unlimited turn-on and
turn-off speed. This approach minimizes voltage spikes and remaining
oscillations without use of expensive integrated or external attached pulse
capacitors. Additionally, cutting down switching losses saves chip area, energy
and gains power rating of these SiRC-based power modules.
