In spite of several advantages of SiC JFETs over enhancement mode SiC MOSFETs, the intrinsic normally-ON characteristic of the JFETs can be undesirable for many industrial power conversion applications due to the negative turn-OFF voltage requirement. This prevents normally-ON JFETs from being widely accepted in industry. However, a cascode configuration, which uses a low voltage (LV) Si MOSFET can be used to enable a normally-OFF behavior, making this approach an attractive solution to utilize the benefits of SiC JFETs. For medium-, and high-voltage applications that require larger blocking voltage than the rating of each JFET, additional devices can be connected in series to increase the overall blocking voltage capability, creating a super-cascode configuration. This paper provides a review of several super-cascode topology variations and presents a comprehensive comparative study, evaluating similarities and differences in operating principles, equivalent circuits, and design considerations and limitations.
