A Current Distribution Mechanism Study Between an SiC MOSFET Body Diode and a Paralleled SiC Schottky Barrier Diode During Freewheeling

Paralleling an external SiC Schottky barrier diode (SBD) with an SiC MOSFET redistributes the reverse-conduction current and may reduce the reverse-recovery energy. However, the benefit depends on device selection and operating conditions, and an unsuitable SBD can increase the r...
