Short-circuit (SC) protection is critical to realize the normal operation of power devices. However, existing SC detection methods have the disadvantages of slow speed and limited application range. This paper presents a gate current IG detection method to realize SC protection, which with the advantages of fast and simple. It has great applicability and can be applied to both 3-pin and 4-pin devices, moreover, it can both achieve hard switching fault (HSF) and fault under load (FUL). An experimental platform is set up to test the proposed short-circuit detection method. The experiment verifies that the proposed short-circuit detection method can be applied not only to HSF (137ns), but also to FUL (86ns).
