Owing to the intrinsic low impedance features of SiC MOSFETs, both the device's inherent attributes and the parasitic parameters present in high voltage and elevated level circuits can significantly modulate the system's performance. In extreme scenarios, it may culminate in device degradation, paving the way for potential safety hazards. Within bridge circuit integrations, the swift toggling actions of power transistors invariably resonate with their counterpart gates, instigating crosstalk disturbances. Such interference can trigger inadvertent conduction of the power transistor, foster direct current flow between the upper and lower bridge modules, or even transcend the maximal gate voltage threshold tolerable by the power transistor, thereby undermining its integrity. Consequently, archetypical MOSFET drive control schemes falter in adhering to these stringent prerequisites. Addressing these intricate crosstalk conundrums mandates a comprehensive overhaul in the drive circuit's design blueprint. To bridge this gap, this study introduces an avant-garde active clamp driver architecture. This mechanism harnesses a level translation module, engendering a negative voltage gradient earmarked for the deactivation phase. By meticulously calibrating the latency periods of individual components and orchestrating the field-effect transistors that synergize with the serial capacitors, it adeptly mitigates crosstalk between gate-source interfaces. Rigorous simulations executed on LTspice accentuate the robustness and prowess of this innovative methodology.
