Abstract:
1. A method of controlling an IGBT component, comprising: connecting first and second resistive components in series; connecting an output of a first driver circuit to a free end of the first resistive component; connecting an output of a second driver circuit to a free end of the second resistive component; connecting the first driver circuit and the second driver circuit to each of a shared positive and a negative supply voltage, wherein the first and second driver circuits are connected in parallel between the positive and negative supply voltages; independently and simultaneously controlling the first driver circuit and the second driver circuit outputs to one of a high potential or a low potential to produce a voltage at a point between the series connection of the first and second resistive components; and controlling a gate voltage of an IGBT component via the voltage at the point between the series connection of the first and second resistive components.
