Microchip’s AgileSwitch and SP6LI SiC Power Module Kit
Microchip Technology has introduced industry’s only low-Inductance Silicon Carbide (SiC) power module and programmable gate driver kit for inverter designers.
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.
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 and spending time to develop their own gate drivers, which can save months in development schedules.
“We listened to developers in providing total system solutions for our micro controllers and analog products,” said Leon Gross, vice president of Microchip’s Discrete Product Group business unit. “Now as SiC power modules increasingly enable the technologies transforming transportation and other industries, this complete product kit allows developers to focus on innovation and significantly reduce time to market.”
Microchip’s AgileSwitch digital programmable gate driver and SP6LI SiC power module kit provides design engineers with a central point of contact for support,and ensures that the die, power package and gate driver are designed specifically for each other – eliminating potential development delays.
Development Tools
The kit includes the AgileSwitch Intelligent Configuration Tool that optimizes gate turn-on and turn-off, short circuit response and module efficiency while reducing voltage overshoot, ringing and electromagnetic interference.
