Abstract

With wide-bandgap transistors, the leakage current through the parasitic transistor to heat sink capacitance is increased with the operation at higher switching transition voltage slopes. This study presents a modulation synchronisation method for a double-leg boost converter to reduce these leakage currents. Having a similar leakage current path, the transistors turn-on transition of one leg is synchronised on the turn-off transition of the second leg.
