SiC MOSFETs: Gate Drive Optimization
Download now
For high−voltage switching power applications, silicon carbide or SiC MOSFETs bring notable advantages compared to traditional silicon MOSFETs and IGBTs. Switching high−voltage power rails in excess of 1,000 V, operating at hundreds of kHz is non−trivial and beyond the capabilities of even the best superjunction silicon MOSFETs.  This paper highlights the unique device characteristics associated with SiC MOSFETs. Critical design requirements related to optimal gate−drive design for maximizing SiC switching performance will be described. System level considerations such as start−up, fault protection and steady state switching will also be discussed.

Edge AI: the wait is (almost) over
Read more
Since the introduction of artificial intelligence to the data centre, AI has been loath to leave it. With large tracts of floorspace dedicated to servers comprising leading-edge chips that can handle the computational demands for training the latest in AI models, as well as inference via end-user connections to the Cloud, data centres are the ideal environment for facilitating much of what AI has to offer. And yet, over the past decade, AI has pushed steadily at the boundaries of the Cloud computing environment in a bid to infiltrate the realm beyond.
