Silicon Carbide (SiC) Gate Driver Development Kits

Microchip accelerated Silicon Carbide (SiC) development kits include the hardware and software elements required to optimize the performance of SiC modules and systems. Microchip’s ASDAK development kits give you the freedom to use many compatible SiC modules and family of SP6LI low-inductance SiC modules featured in all the ASDAK+ kits.

Features

  • Compatible with 1200V and 1700V SiC power modules
  • Intelligent Configuration Tool (ICT) included
  • Kits are available both with or without power modules

    • ASDAK-MSCSM & ASDAK-2ASC Kits

    ASDAK-MSCSM Kits Include:

  • One SiC power module
  • One 2ASC series core
  • One SP6CA1 Module Adapter Board (MAB)
  • One Programming Kit (ASBK)

    • ASDAK-2ASC Kits Include:

  • Three 2ASC series cores
  • One Module Adapter Board (MAB)
  • One Programming Kit (ASBK)
