Power Integrations SIC118xKQ automotive SCALE-iDriver™

Power Integrations' SIC118xKQ SCALE-iDriver, a high-efficiency, single-channel gate driver for Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFETs, is certified to AEC-Q100 for automotive use. Devices can support gate-drive voltage requirements of commonly used SIC MOSFETs and feature sophisticated safety and protection features.

SIC MOSFET technology enables smaller, lighter automotive inverter systems. Power Integrations’ FluxLink™ communication technology dramatically improves isolation capability and enables safe, cost-effective designs for inverters with very few external components up to 250 kW.
