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 9):
The method according to  claim 7 , wherein the power module or each phase branch of the power converter has two or more first switching modules connected in parallel to each other and two or more second switching modules connected in parallel to each other, wherein the first and second switching modules are respectively switched synchronously to each other.
