EVALSTGAP2SICSC

EVALSTGAP2SiCSC is a demonstration board for STGAP2SiCSC isolated single gate driver. The gate driver is characterized by 4 A current capability and rail-to-rail outputs, making the device also suitable for high power inverter applications such as motor drivers in industrial applications equipped with SiC MOSFET power switches. The configuration featuring single output pin and Miller CLAMP function allow avoiding gate spikes during fast commutations in half-bridge topologies. The device integrates protection functions: UVLO and thermal shut down are included to easily design highly reliable systems. Dual input pins allow choosing the control signal polarity and also implementing HW interlocking protection in order to avoid cross-conduction in case of controller malfunction.
