Microchip Expands its mSiC™ Solutions with the 3.3 kV XIFM Plug-and-Play mSiC Gate Driver to Accelerate the Adoption of High-Voltage SiC Power Modules
2024年2月20日 - 10:00PM
The electrification of everything is driving the widespread
adoption of Silicon Carbide (SiC) technology in
medium-to-high-voltage applications like transportation, electric
grids and heavy-duty vehicles. To help developers implement SiC
solutions and fast-track the development process, Microchip
Technology (
Nasdaq: MCHP) today introduces the
3.3 kV XIFM plug-and-play mSiC™ gate driver with
patented Augmented Switching™ technology, which is designed to work
out-of-the-box with preconfigured module settings to significantly
reduce design and evaluation time.
To speed time to market, the complex development
work of designing, testing and qualifying a gate driver circuit
design is already completed with this plug-and-play solution. The
XIFM digital gate driver is a compact solution that features
digital control, an integrated power supply and a robust
fiber-optic interface that improves noise immunity. This gate
driver has preconfigured “turn-on/off” gate drive profiles that are
tailored to optimize module performance.
It incorporates 10.2 kV primary-to-secondary
reinforced isolation with built-in monitoring and protection
functions including temperature and DC link monitoring,
Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO), Overvoltage Lockout (OVLO),
short-circuit/overcurrent protection (DESAT) and Negative
Temperature Coefficient (NTC). This gate driver also complies with
EN 50155, a key specification for railway applications.
“As the silicon carbide market continues to grow
and push the boundaries of higher voltage, Microchip makes it
easier for power system developers to adopt wide-bandgap technology
with turnkey solutions like our 3.3 kV plug-and-play mSiC gate
driver,” said Clayton Pillion, vice president of Microchip’s
silicon carbide business unit. “By having the gate drive circuitry
preconfigured, this solution can reduce design cycle time by up to
50% compared to a traditional analog solution.”
With over 20 years of experience in the
development, design, manufacturing and support of SiC devices and
power solutions, Microchip helps customers adopt SiC with ease,
speed and confidence. Microchip’s mSiC™ products include SiC
MOSFETS, diodes and gate drivers with standard, modified and custom
options. For more information about Microchip’s SiC portfolio,
