Silicon Carbide (SiC) and IGBT Gate Driver Solutions
Our configurable mSiC™ gate drivers reduce switching losses and improve system power density, providing a superior solution compared to standard analog MOSFET drivers. Incorporating patented Augmented Switching™ technology and robust short-circuit protection, these digital gate drivers are fully software configurable and prevent false faults and mitigate ringing, Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), overshoot and undershoot in SiC and IGBT power modules.
Lower System Cost
- Device redundancy is not required
- Ability to focus on the next generation of products instead of redesigning
- No supply interruption of production
Faster to Market
- Minimize system development time
- Provide earlier and more revenue
- Accelerate your innovation process
Lower Risk
- Higher reliability and system lifetime
