Abstract

The invention relates to a comprehensive control method for switch on and off processes of power semiconductor switches (S<SUB>1</SUB>-S<SUB>4</SUB>). In a switching phase A the collector current transient di<SUB>c</SUB>/dt is controlled in order to safeguard a controlled clear-off of the edge zones of a serial freewheeling diode (D<SUB>s</SUB>). In a switching phase B the collector voltage gradient dv<SUB>CE</SUB>/dt is controlled in order to specifically switch the power semiconductor switch (S<SUB>1</SUB>-S<SUB>4</SUB>), thereby establishing a closed control loop by returning primary and optionally secondary condition variables (v<SUB>c</SUB>, dv<SUB>c</SUB>/dt, i<SUB>c</SUB>, di<SUB>c</SUB>/dt, i<SUB>G</SUB>, v<SUB>G</SUB>, di<SUB>G</SUB>/dt, dv<SUB>G</SUB>/dt) of the power semiconductor switch (S<SUB>1</SUB>-S<SUB>4</SUB>). The embodiments relate inter alia to prephases A 0 , B 0 for achieving the controllability of the power semiconductor switch (S<SUB>1</SUB>-S<SUB>4</SUB>), a v<SUB>CE </SUB>control by defining a collector voltage set-point function v<SUB>CE</SUB><SUP>ref </SUP>(t), detection of a transfer time (t<SUB>1</SUB>, t<SUB>2</SUB>) of switching phases A and B, a variable controller amplification (k<SUB>p</SUB>(t)), an upper and lower limit (S<SUB>M</SUB>, S<SUB>m</SUB>) in accordance with an ideal gate current gradient (i<SUB>G</SUB>(t)) and a tolerance band control for the collector voltage (v<SUB>CE</SUB>). The invention further relates to a gate driver (GT), preferably with partitioned amplifier stages ( 7 a , 7 b) for carrying out the inventive method, and to a power semiconductor switch (S<SUB>1</SUB>-S<SUB>4</SUB>) and a series connection of power semiconductor switches (S<SUB>1</SUB>-S<SUB>4</SUB>) that are provided with such a gate driver (GT).
