GA05JT01-46
Section V: Driving the GA05JT01-46
The GA05JT01-46 is a current controlled SiC transistor which requires a positive gate current for turn-on and to remain in on-state. It may be
driven by different drive topologies depending on the intended application.

A: Simple TTL Drive
The GA05JT01-46 may be driven by 5 V TTL logic by using a simple current amplification stage. The current amplifier output current must
meet or exceed the steady state gate current, IG,steady, required to operate the GA05JT01-46. An external gate resistor RG, shown in the
Figure 22 topology, sets IG,steady to the required level which is dependent on the SJT drain current ID and DC current gain hFE, RG may be
calculated from the equation below. The values of hFE and VGS,sat may be read from Figure 6 and Figure 7, respectively. VEC,sat can be taken
from the PNP datasheet, a partial list of high-temperature PNP and NPN transistors options is given below. High-temperature MOSFETs may
also be used in the topology.

GA05JT01-46
B: High Speed Driving
For ultra high speed GA05JT01-46 switching (tr, tf < 20 ns) while maintaining low gate drive losses the supplied gate current should include a
positive current peak during turn-on, a negative voltage peak during turn-off, and continuous gate current IG to remain on.
An SJT is rapidly switched from its blocking state to on-state, when the necessary gate charge for turn-on, QG, is supplied by a burst of high
gate current until the gate-source capacitance, CGS, and gate-drain capacitance, CGD, are fully charged. Ideally, the burst should terminate
when the drain voltage has fallen to its on-state value in order to avoid unnecessary drive losses. A negative voltage peak is recommended for
the turn-off transition in order to ensure that the gate current is not being supplied under high dV/dt due to the Miller effect. While satisfactory
turn off can be achieved with VGS = 0 V, a negative VGS value may be used in order to speed up the turn-off transition.
B:1: High Speed, Low Loss Drive with Boost Capacitor
The GA05JT01-46 may be driven using a High Speed, Low Loss Drive with Boost Capacitor topology in which multiple voltage levels, a gate
resistor, and a gate capacitor are used to provide current peaks at turn-on and turn-off for fast switching and a continuous gate current while in
on-state. As shown in Figure 23, in this topology two gate driver ICs are utilized. An external gate resistor RG is driven by a low voltage driver
to supply the continuous gate current throughout on-state.and a gate capacitor CG is driven at a higher voltage level to supply a high current
peak at turn-on and turn-off. A 3 kV isolated evaluation gate drive board (GA03IDDJT30-FR4) from GeneSiC Semiconductor utilizing this
topology is commercially available for high and low-side driving, its datasheet provides additional details about this drive topology.

B:2: High Speed, Low Loss Drive with Boost Inductor
A High Speed, Low-Loss Driver with Boost Inductor is also capable of driving the GA05JT01-46 at high-speed. It utilizes a gate drive inductor
instead of a capacitor to provide the high-current gate current pulses IG,on and IG,off. During operation, inductor L is charged to a specified IG,on
current value then made to discharge IL into the SJT gate pin using logic control of S1, S2, S3, and S4, as shown in Figure 24. After turn on,
while the device remains on the necessary steady state gate current IG,steady is supplied from source VCC through RG. Please refer to the article
“A current-source concept for fast and efficient driving of silicon carbide transistors” by Dr. Jacek Rąbkowski for additional information on this
driving topology.3

GA05JT01-46
C: Proportional Gate Current Driving
A proportional gate drive topology may be beneficial for applications in which the GA05JT01-46 will operate over a wide range of drain current
conditions to lower the gate drive power consumption. A proportional gate driver relies on instantaneous drain current ID feedback to vary the
steady state gate current IG,steady supplied to the GA05JT01-46.
C:1: Voltage Controlled Proportional Driver
A voltage controlled proportional driver relies on a gate drive integrated circuit to detect the GA05JT01-46 drain-source voltage VDS during onstate to sense ID. The integrated circuit will then increase or decrease IG in response to ID. This allows IG and gate drive power consumption to
reduce while ID is low or for IG to increase when ID increases. A high voltage diode connected between the drain and sense protects the
integrated circuit from high-voltage when blocking. A simplified version of this topology is shown in Figure 25. Additional information will be
available in the future at http://www.genesicsemi.com/references/product-notes/.

C:2: Current Controlled Proportional Driver
The current controlled proportional driver relies on a low-loss transformer in the drain or source path to provide feedback of the
GA05JT01-46 drain current during on-state to supply IG,steady into the gate. IG,steady will increase or decrease in response to ID at a fixed forced
current gain which is set be the turns ratio of the transformer, hforce = ID / IG = N2 / N1. GA05JT01-46 is initially tuned-on using a gate current
pulse supplied into an RC drive circuit to allow ID current to begin flowing. This topology allows IG,steady and the gate drive power consumption to
reduce while ID is relatively low or for IG,steady to increase when ID increases. A simplified version of this topology is shown in Figure 26.
