Investigation of Benefits and Trade-offs of Integrating RC-Snubbers in SiC MOSFET based Power Modules for Automotive Applications

Year: 2026

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: This paper presents a comprehensive simulation and test-based study of Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFET multi-chip half-bridge power modules for automotive traction inverters. It investigates the optimization and benefits of using RC snubbers to improve the module's overall switching performance. The study also highlights the trade-offs in dimensioning these snubber components from a total system design perspective.
