Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a power converter configured for limiting switching overvoltage. The power converter comprises a bottom commutation cell that includes a bottom power electronic switch and a bottom compensation circuit connected to a bottom parasitic inductance. The bottom compensation circuit applies a sample of the voltage induced across the bottom parasitic inductance at turn-off of the bottom power electronic switch to the reference node of the bottom gate driver. The power converter also comprises a top commutation cell that includes top power electronic switch and a top compensation circuit connected to the bottom parasitic inductance. The top compensation circuit applies a sample of the voltage induced across the bottom parasitic emitter upon turn-off of the top power electronic switch to the reference node of the top gate driver. The top and bottom commutation cells are part of a loop, being connected at a junction of the collector of the bottom power electronic switch and the emitter of the top power electronic switch.

Claim (Index 5):
The power converter of  claim 1 , wherein the bottom gate driver has a bottom reference to receive the sample of the voltage induced across the bottom parasitic inductance from the bottom compensation circuit and the top gate driver has a top reference to receive the sample of the voltage induced across the bottom parasitic inductance from the top compensation circuit.
