Abstract:
A power module, comprising:a power semiconductor device having a first terminal, a second terminal, and a third terminal, the second terminal being a control terminal to regulate flow of electricity between the first and third terminals; and a gate driver having an output node coupled to the second terminal of the power device to provide gate control signals to the power semiconductor device, the gate driver including: a gate control signal generator having a first input and a second input, a first sub-circuit having a first signal path and a second signal path that are suitable for transmitting signals, the first and second signal paths coupled to the first input of the gate control signal generator, the second signal path being configured to provide a signal to the first input with a reduced signal delay, and a second sub-circuit coupled to the second input of the gate control signal generator.
