Abstract
A system that drives multiple MOSFETs in parallel for direct current and alternating current solid state power controller applications may include networks connected to the gates of the MOSFETs to protect the MOSFETs from being damaged during high current interruption. For direct current applications, the system may include a switching protection and damping network and a gate drive balancing network. For alternating current applications, the system may include two switching protection and damping networks and a gate drive balancing network.
