Microchip’s SiC digital gate drivers with patented Augmented Switching™ technology address the secondary effects that are present when using conventional analog drivers: noise/EMI, short circuit, overvoltage and overheating.
With Microchip’s SiC digital gate drivers, users experience reduced switching losses and improved system density. They are fully software configurable, prevent false faults and mitigate ringing, electromagnetic Interference (EMI) as well as overshoot and undershoot in SiC and IGBT power modules.
Work with Richardson RFPD’s global FAE team to support configuration with SiC modules from many of the industry’s leading names in addition to Microchip.
