Accelerate Time to Market with Plug-and-Play mSiC™ Gate Drivers

The electrification of everything drives the need to improve system performance, reliability, and cost. The limitations of Silicon (Si) devices are driving the adoption of wide bandgap technologies such as Silicon Carbide (SiC) to address these challenges. While SiC offers a number of benefits, it also introduces several design challenges such as electromagnetic interference (EMI), overheating, and overvoltage conditions that can be addressed by selecting the right gate driver.

As SiC technology is widely adopted in medium-and-high-voltage applications, the system design increases complexity and can be more time-consuming, potentially significantly delaying time to market. These challenges are well met with Microchip’s Plug-and-Play mSiC™ Gate Driver family, which is designed as a turnkey solution to “work right out of the box.”
