The Industry’s Only Low Inductance Silicon Carbide (SiC) Power Module and Programmable Gate Driver Kit is Now Available for Inverter Designers. Microchip’s AgileSwitch® digital programmable gate driver and SP6LI SiC power module kit enables developers to proceed quickly from benchtop to productions.
The transformation to electrify transportation – from trains, trams, and trolleys to busses, automobiles and EV chargers – continues at a rapid pace, as countries shift toward improved modes of transit with greater efficiency and innovative technology. Microchip Technology Inc. (Nasdaq: MCHP) today announced its AgileSwitch® digital programmable gate driver and SP6LI SiC power module kit, a unified system solution to help designers quickly and effectively adopt disruptive silicon carbide (SiC) power devices – reducing time to market and ensuring confidence in field deployment.
Features
Microchip’s AgileSwitch digital programmable gate driver and SP6LI SiC power module kit speeds development from evaluation through production, eliminating the need to procure power modules and gate drivers separately – including gate drivers that are qualified for end-product production. With Microchip’s AgileSwitch gate drivers and proven, high performance SiC power modules, developers can avoid qualifying power modules then spending time to develop their own gate drivers, which can save months in development schedules.
