Abstract
A hybrid power transistor apparatus includes a first switching element comprising a first number of transistor cells connected in parallel between a first terminal and a second terminal of the apparatus, wherein gates of the first number of transistor cells are connected together, and the gates of the first number of transistor cells are connected to an output of a first gate drive circuit, and a second switching element comprising a second number of transistor cells connected in parallel between the first terminal and the second terminal of the apparatus, wherein gates of the second number of transistor cells are connected together, and the gates of the second number of transistor cells are connected to an output of a second gate drive circuit, and wherein a delay is placed between the output of the first gate drive circuit and the output of the second gate drive circuit.
