This paper presents a frequency-domain analysis of the turn-off equivalent switching network of a hard-switched semiconductor switching cell. This paper also proposes a novel method to suppress parasitic voltage ringing by placing the turn-off current zero at the parasitic resonant frequency. The turn-off current was decomposed into ramp functions and a constant-valued function to facilitate obtaining the frequency components of the turn-off current using the Laplace transform of standard signals. The proposed frequency-domain modeling of the parasitic voltage ringing and the suppression were validated by detailed circuit simulation using parameters corresponding to prior literature with experimental validation.
