An active gate driver IC generates arbitrary switching waveform is proposed to reduce the switching loss, the voltage overshoot, and the electromagnetic interference (EMI) by optimizing the switching pattern. However, it is hard to find optimal switching pattern because the switching pattern has huge possible combinations. In this paper, the method to estimate the switching loss and the voltage overshoot from the switching pattern with neural network (NN) is proposed. The implemented NN model obtains reasonable learning results for data-sets.
