MOSFET driver offers increased power per channel
A new six-channel silicon carbide MOSFET driver from Wolfspeed is in stock at Richardson RFPD with full design support and capabilities. The CGD15FB45P1 features six output channels, isolated power supply, a direct-mount low inductance design, short circuit protection, and over-temperature and under-voltage protection.
The device represents a new generation of gate driver boards for Wolfspeed’s CCS020M12CM2 and CCS050M12CM2 1200V SiC MOSFET power modules in two-level, three-phase inverter applications.
The new gate driver has a smaller footprint and enhanced functionality over the previous version, including increased power per channel that enables the maximum switching frequency to increase to 250kHz.
