Systems and methods for a gate drive circuit

Abstract:

Systems and methods provided herein relate to a gate drive circuit for controlling operation of a wide bandgap semiconductor switch. The systems and methods receive a control signal and configuring an operation signal configured to activate a wide bandgap switch (WBG switch). A profile of the operation signal being based on electrical characteristics of first and second shaping circuits. The systems and methods further deliver the operation signal to the WBG switch.
