Product Overview

Microchip XIFM plug-and-play mSiC™ gate driver is designed to drive 3.3 kV SiC modules in High-Voltage (HV) packages such as HV LinPak, HV100 XHP™, or equivalent. It features Augmented Switching™ to enhance the control of the SIC MOSFET-based power systems in normal operation and in fault conditions, such as over-current. The driver includes isolated High (HI) and Low (LO) side DC/DC converters and complies with key rail specifications—EN 50155.

The following figure shows a representative stack-up of the gate driver, which is subject to change without notice.
