EiceDRIVER™ SiC MOSFET Gate Driver ICs

Overview

Gate driver ICs with perfect fit to CoolSiC™ MOSFET

Ultra-fast switching 1200 V power transistors such as CoolSiC™ MOSFETs can be easier handled by means of isolated gate output sections. Therefore, the following EiceDRIVER™ galvanically isolated gate driver ICs based on our coreless transformer technology are recommended as most suitable.

These drivers incorporate most important key features and parameters for SiC MOSFETs driving such as tight propagation delay matching, precise input filters, wide output-side supply range, negative gate voltage capability, extended CMTI capability, active Miller clamp, and DESAT protection.
