  • Abstract
    The effect of source inductance on the switching performance of power MOSFETs has been investigated. An IRF 450 in a T03 package was modified to include a second source lead for drive purposes. Switching tests have also been carried out on current-sending FETs and RF packaged power MOSFETs. The results are compared and related to high-frequency power convertor applications. Failure modes are also discussed
