A: Static TTL Logic Driving
The GA20SICP12-247 may be driven using direct (5 V) TTL logic after current amplification. The (amplified) current level of the supply must
meet or exceed the steady state gate current (IG,steady) required to operate the GA20SICP12-247. The power level of the supply can be
estimated from the target duty cycle of the particular application. I G,steady is dependent on the anticipated drain current ID through the SJT and
the DC current gain hFE, it may be calculated from the following equation. An accurate value of the h FE may be read from Figure 6.

B: High Speed Driving
The SJT is a current controlled transistor which requires a positive gate current for turn-on as well as to remain in on-state. An ideal gate
current waveform for ultra-fast switching of the SJT, while maintaining low gate drive losses, is shown in Figure 19 which features a positive
current peak during turn-on, a negative current peak during turn-off, and continuous gate current to remain on.
Figure 19: An idealized gate current waveform for fast switching of an SJT.
An SJT is rapidly switched from its blocking state to on-state, when the necessary gate charge, Q G, for turn-on is supplied by a burst of high
gate current, IG,on, until the gate-source capacitance, C GS, and gate-drain capacitance, CGD, are fully charged.

GA20SICP12-247
Ideally, IG,on should terminate when the drain voltage falls to its on-state value in order to avoid unnecessary drive losses during the steady onstate. In practice, the rise time of the IG,on pulse is affected by the parasitic inductances, Lpar in the device package and drive circuit. A voltage
developed across the parasitic inductance in the source path, L s, can de-bias the gate-source junction, when high drain currents begin to flow
through the device. The voltage applied to the gate pin should be maintained high enough, above the V GS,sat (see Figure 7) level to counter
these effects.
A high negative peak current, -IG,off is recommended at the start of the turn-off transition, in order to rapidly sweep out the injected carriers from
the gate, and achieve rapid turn-off. While satisfactory turn off can be achieved with V GS = 0 V, a negative gate voltage VGS may be used in
order to speed up the turn-off transition.
Two high-speed drive topologies for the SiC SJTs are presented below.
B:1: High Speed, Low Loss Drive with Boost Capacitor, GA03IDDJT30-FR4
The GA20SICP12-247 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 fast switching current peaks at turn-on and turn-off and a continuous gate current while
in on-state. A 3 kV isolated evaluation gate drive board (GA03IDDJT30-FR4) utilizing this topology is commercially available for high and lowside driving, its datasheet provides additional details about this drive topology.

operation of the GA20SICP12-247. The steady state current supplied to the gate pin of the GA20SICP12-247 with on-board R G = 3.75
shown in Figure 21. The maximum allowable safe value of R G for the user’s required drain current can be read from Figure 22.
For the GA20SICP12-247, RG must be reduced for ID
A for safe operation with the GA03IDDJT30-FR4.
For operation at ID
A, RG may be calculated from the following equation, which contains the DC current gain hFE (Figure 6) and the gatesource saturation voltage V GS,sat (Figure 7).

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 GA20SICP12-247 at high-speed. It utilizes a gate drive
inductor instead of a capacitor to provide the high-current gate current pulses I G,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 S 1, S2, S3, and S4, as shown in Figure 23.
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

GA20SICP12-247
C: Proportional Gate Current Driving
For applications in which the GA20SICP12-247 will operate over a wide range of drain current conditions, it may be beneficial to drive the
device using a proportional gate drive topology to optimize gate drive power consumption. A proportional gate driver relies on instantaneous
drain current ID feedback to vary the steady state gate current I G,steady supplied to the GA20SICP12-247
C:1: Voltage Controlled Proportional Driver
The voltage controlled proportional driver relies on a gate drive IC to detect the GA20SICP12-247 drain-source voltage V DS during on-state to
sense ID. The gate drive IC will then increase or decrease IG,steady in response to ID. This allows IG,steady, and thus the gate drive power
consumption, to be reduced while ID is relatively low or for IG,steady to increase when is ID higher. A high voltage diode connected between the
drain and sense protects the IC from high-voltage when the driver and GA20SICP12-247 are in off-state. A simplified version of this topology
is shown in Figure 24, additional information will be available in the future at http://www.genesicsemi.com/commercial-sic/sic-junctiontransistors/

Figure 24: Simplified Voltage Controlled Proportional Driver
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 I D of the
GA20SICP12-247 during on-state to supply IG,steady into the device gate. IG,steady will then increase or decrease in response to I D at a fixed forced
current gain which is set be the turns ratio of the transformer, hforce = ID / IG = N2 / N1. GA20SICP12-247 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 thus the gate drive power
consumption, to be reduced while ID is relatively low or for IG,steady to increase when is ID higher. A simplified version of this topology is shown in
Figure 25, additional information will be available in the future at http://www.genesicsemi.com/commercial-sic/sic-junction-transistors/.
