Double pulse test 

The  double  pulse  test  is  used  to  evaluate  the  switching  characteristics  of  a  power  switch  under  hard 
switching but in a safe manner. 
 
For a low side switch the setup is as shown below: 

 

Figure 7: Double Pulse Test  

 
The low side switch is driven with two pulses as shown below.  The high side switch can be held off or 
driven with the inverse of the low side gate switch (with adequate dead time).
