Abstract
An examination is made of modifications possible in GTO (gate-turn-off) specifications as a result of application in soft switching topologies. Turn-off is characterized as a function of (dv/dt, di/dt) controlled by the external resonant elements and gate drive circuits. Turn-on is characterized for low-voltage switching and external gate drive circuit influence. Device interaction with the various operating modes of the soft switching topologies is examined.<>
