This whitepaper shares some design guidelines and advice on how to reduce failure causes and simplify the design – with application examples for a better comprehension…

This application note provides design guidance for properly selecting gate-source voltages for Microchip’s SiC MOSFET products, along with related device performance and behavior. This note applies to Microchip part numbers of the type MSCXXXSMAXXX.

This application note demonstrates the advantages of the ADuM4136 gate driver, a single-channel device with an output drive capability of up to 4 A, a maximum common-mode transient immunity (CMTI) of 150 kV/μs, and fast fault management that includes desaturation protection.

Although SiC MOSFETs offer better performance than traditional silicon MOSFETs and IGBTs, the driving methods are somewhat different and must be carefully considered during the design process…

This GaN Systems application note shows why GaN HEMTs are simple to drive. (February 2021 updated version.)...

Design a 6.6 kW high frequency SiC power converter with confidence. Supported with test reports, combine ADI isolated gate drivers with Wolfspeed Silicon Carbide MOSFETS & Schottky Diodes for an efficient fast switching SiC solution.

Switching a SiC MOSFET Power Module creates two significant problems that need to be addressed in order to optimize the performance of the device: turn-off voltage overshoot and ringing. These two parasitic problems need to be controlled while maintaining efficient switching. Microchip’s AgileSwitch® line of patented Gate Drive products address these problems...

As vehicle electrification proliferates the consumer EV segment, other forms of transportation are also chasing the global macrotrend. Today, designers are finally able to extract disruptive system-level benefits of SiC technology to shrink the size, noise, and field failures of auxiliary power units (APUs) in transportation vehicles.

Microchip’s AgileSwitch family of Digital Programmable Gate Drivers feature Augmented Switching technology to enable efficient and reliable control and protection of Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFET devices.

The “Walk Around the Block” webinar series addresses design challenges and trending topics relative to power electronics applications. In this series, we’ll focus on EV fast charging and highlight a variety of topics from our vendors Wolfspeed (On-board chargers), u-blox (Wireless communications), Analog Devices (Optimize switching) and Microchip (Power factor correction)...
