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.
