Tuning turn-on detection point of the IGBT
One of the critical aspects of the SEPR converter is to determine the optimal turn-on point of the IGBT, which is
during the conduction phase of the parallel diode. The evaluation board is already optimized to match the
optimal turn-on point of the IGBT. However, in case the resonant capacitance is replaced with a different value,
the turn-on detection point has to be changed. In order to do so, the resistance RV- has to be changed to adjust
