Microchip's Accelerated Silicon Carbide Development Kits include the hardware and software elements required to rapidly optimize the performance of Silicon Carbide (SiC) modules and systems.
This new tool enables designers to adjust system performance through software settings using the AgileSwitch® Intelligent Configuration Tool (ICT) and a Device Programmer. No soldering is required.
The ICT offers configuration of different drive parameters including On/Off Gate Voltages, DC Link and Temperature Fault Levels, and Augmented SwitchingTM profiles.
Small changes to the Augmented Switching profiles can yield dramatic improvements in switching efficiency, overshoot, ringing, and short-circuit protection.
