Abstract:
A method and a device for controlling a commutation process of a load current between two switching modules are disclosed that each have a MOSFET that can be controlled by a gate-source voltage, and an intrinsic-body inverse diode. To reduce oscillations in the down-commutation of the inverse diodes caused by parasitic circuit parameters, after switching off one of the switching modules, the gate-source control voltage applied to this switching module is temporarily switched off until being increased again the vicinity of the threshold voltage for switching on the MOSFET, before and while the other switching module is switched on, in order to commutate the current from the inverse diode of the one switching module to the MOSFET of the other switching module.

Claim (Index 20):
The control device according to  claim 19 , wherein the at least one gate-driver unit has a first controllable switch that is connected, on the one hand, to a positive voltage potential and, on the other hand, via a closing resistor to a gate of the first and second switching module, and a second controllable switch, that is connected on the one hand to a negative voltage potential and on the other hand via an opening resistor to the same gate of the first and second switching module, wherein the voltage potentials, the closing resistor and the opening resistor are dimensioned such that, when both switches are switched on simultaneously, the intermediate level of the second control voltage is applied to the gate of the first and second switching module.
