Part Number: EV84K75A

Single-Channel Discrete Gate Driver Evaluation Board


  • The 2W isolated power supply enables driving MOSFETs at higher frequencies
  • Designed to drive 700V and 1200V mSiC™ MOSFETs with a 5A peak source and sink output current
  • Separate gate turn-on and turn-off resistors allow users to optimize switching turn-on and turn-off slopes
  • Enhanced electromagnetic interference (EMI) immunity

Overview


The EV84k75A discrete gate driver evaluation board is designed to facilitate the evaluation of Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFET devices, offering superior performance in medium-power and high-frequency applications. This board features a 2W isolated power supply for driving MOSFETs, enhanced EMI immunity through a common-mode choke, and the capability to drive 700V and 1200V mSiC™ MOSFETs with a 5A peak output current. It supports seamless microcontroller interfacing with +3.3V / +5V CMOS/TTL logic on PWM pins, independent under-voltage lockout (UVLO) for safety, and allows for optimized switching with separate gate resistors, making it a comprehensive tool for evaluating and optimizing SiC device performance.
