The compared technologies include MOSFETs, normally on and normally off JFETs, as well as BJTs. These devices have been compared according to different figure-of-merit evaluating conduction and switching performance, efficiency, impact of temperature, as well as other driving and protection issues. To perform the proposed evaluation, a versatile test platform has been developed. As a result of this study, several differential features are identified and discussed, taking into account the pursued induction heating application.2015http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/16583010.1109/TIE.2015.2405057http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/165830oai:zaguan.unizar.es:165830info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/CSD2009-00046info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/RTC-2014-1847-6info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/TEC2013-42937-Rinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/UZ/JIUZ-2014-TEC-08IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics 62, 8 (2015), 4795-4804All rights reservedhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
