Easing traction inverter power design with a novel family of pre-configured high voltage gate drivers

New preconfigured automotive high voltage gate drivers for efficient switching of latest automotive IGBT, SiC MOSFET and Si/SiC Fusion power modules.

Key Takeaways

  • Gate drivers matches to latest IGBT, SiC MOSFET and Fusion switch technologies
  • Developed according to ISO 26262
  • No configuration required
  • Compact with powerful output stage
  • I have seen the new gate drivers uses “SI pin”. Can we simply transfer the designs, which used in older gate driver variants normal Enable/Reset pin features?
  • Where is the overvoltage lookout threshold? Can we use nominal 18V gate supply for SiC MOSFET power modules and which nominal voltage needs the new Fusion switches.
