Microchip's newly released AgileSwitch digital programmable gate driver and SP6LI SiC power module kit accelerate the development speed from evaluation to production, and customers no longer need to purchase power modules and gate drivers separately, including gate drivers for finished product production. The newly launched AgileSwitch gate driver and reliable and powerful SiC power module can save developers from having to spend time developing their own gate drivers after verifying the power module, thus shortening the development cycle by months.
“We listened to developers when it came to providing total system solutions for our microcontroller and analog products,” said Leon Gross, vice president of Microchip’s discrete device business unit. “Now, with SiC power modules becoming more advanced and technologies rapidly transforming transportation and other industries, this complete product toolkit allows developers to focus on innovation and significantly reduce time to market.”
Microchip uses the latest generation of SiC die and provides three Schottky barrier diode (SBD) SiC power modules of 700V, 1200V and 1700V for customers to choose from. In addition, Microchip's dsPIC® digital signal controller also has the characteristics of high performance, low power consumption and flexible peripherals. The AgileSwitch series of digital programmable gate drivers further accelerates the entire process from design to production.
Microchip combines SiC power modules with software-configurable gate drivers using Augmented Switching™ technology, enabling designers to better address dynamic issues such as voltage overshoot, switching losses and electromagnetic interference. This "point-and-click configuration" approach uses a Windows-based computer interface (using a mouse instead of a soldering iron) and can be applied throughout the design process, from accelerating early evaluation to simplifying final optimization.
Microchip’s AgileSwitch digital programmable gate driver and SP6LI SiC power module toolkit provides design engineers with powerful support tools to ensure the die, power pack and gate driver are designed specifically for each other, eliminating potential development delays.
The tool includes the AgileSwitch intelligent configuration tool, which optimizes gate turn-on and turn-off, short-circuit response and module efficiency while reducing voltage overshoot, ringing and electromagnetic interference.
Microchip's AgileSwitch digital programmable gate driver and SP6LI SiC power module toolkit solutions are now in mass production.
