Gate Drives and Gate Driving with SiC MOSFETs

September 1, 2021

Gate Drivers

The use of silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs has enabled high-efficiency power delivery for a variety of applications, such as electric-vehicle fast charging, power supplies, renewable energy, and grid infrastructure. Although their performance is better than traditional silicon MOSFETs and insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs), the driving methods are somewhat different and must be carefully considered during the design process.
