Accelerating the development of SiC power components for electric vehicles, etc.


On the 1st, Microchip announced the 'AgileSwitch® Digital Programmable Gate Driver and SP6LI SiC Power Module Kit Solution,' which enables the rapid development of SiC (silicon carbide) power components for electric vehicles.

With this solution based on Microchip's Augmented Switching™ technology, developers can avoid wasting time on power component verification and developing their own gate drivers, thereby reducing the overall development time by several months or more.

'Configure-at-a-click' using a Windows-based computer interface can be used throughout the entire design cycle, from the initial evaluation phase to final optimization.

The Agilswitch digital programmable gate driver and SP6LI SiC power module kit solution prevents potential development delays by providing a centralized contact point (CPC) for developers and offering specially designed dedicated dies, power packages, and gate drivers.

The SP6LI SiC power module kit reduces voltage overshoot, ringing, and electromagnetic interference, and gate on/off and short-circuit response ratesIt includes an 'Intelligent Configuration Tool' that optimizes module efficiency.

This solution, which includes the ASDAK-MSCSM70AM025CT6LIAG-01 Agile Switch digital programmable gate drive and the 1200V, 495A, single-phase leg SP6LI SiC power module kit, starts at $999.95.
