Hii ,

I am currently working on an LLC half bridge resonant converter for battery charger application.

Below are the gate pulse we captured on the scope.

Yellow one is for high side mosfet & green is for bottom side mosfet.

Any idea why is there a bump on high side pulse before it turns on.?????

Can you not feed it all by isolation AC source or isol txformer, and then read the signal with home brew coaxial probe?...beware probe capacitance though.

I have checked the gate pulse via two different differential probes. The top(Blue colored ) is with low CMRR & BW probe & bottom one is with high BW &CMRR probe

If the circuit is otherwise performing as expected, I think it's safe to assume the issues with the other waveforms were just probing artifacts.
