Isolation characterization of Gate Drive Converter under high dv/dt stress
Wide Band Gap and advanced Silicon transistor technologies permit fast switching with very high dv/dt and di/dt slew rates. How do these stresses affect the isolation barrier of a DC/DC converter used to provide the isolated power for the gate drivers?
Guideline for the Selection of Safety Standards for Power Supplies
"Best-Practice" guideline that deals exclusively with the requirements for the Basic Safety of power supplies and is intended to serve as a decision-making aid for the technical personnel of manufacturers and for experienced users.
