Abstract
An apparatus comprises a solid state device and a switch in series with the solid state device. The apparatus comprises a leak detection component connected to the solid state device. The apparatus comprises a gate driver configured to drive a gate of the solid state device. The gate driver comprises test circuitry configured to apply a test voltage to the gate of the solid state device. The test voltage is less than a threshold voltage of the solid state device. The leak detection component is configured to detect a leakage of the solid state device.
