MOSFET driver boards primed for IGBT modules

These boards are developed for Cree by Prodrive Technologies and are production-ready, with all the features required for an IGBT module gate driver.     

The Cree PT62SCMDxx Dual SIC MOSFET Drivers feature a wide power supply range from 15V to 24V. The two single-board solutions provide different driving capabilities - the PT62SCMD12 is a 1200V driver, whereas the PT62SCMD17 is a 1700V driver. Each SIC MOSFET Driver solution provides low jitter at 1ns (typical), gate driving at +20V/-6V, switchable frequencies up to 125kHz, and output currents up to +/- 20A with high dV/dt immunity. Both solutions require no optocouplers, and communicate through an RS422 input interface.     

A built-in dead-time generator enables both solutions to be fully adjustable for both dead and blanking time. Other features of the Dual SIC MOSFET Drivers include over-current protection and under- and over-voltage lockout.     

The single-board solutions can control multiple MOSFETs in parallel, and are available for purchase through Mouser Electronics for a variety of power management solutions, including HF resonant converters/inverters, solar and wind inverters, UPS and SMPS devices, motor drives and traction-based applications.
