Gate driver ICs as perfect fit to SiC MOSFET (including Infineon CoolSiCTM MOSFET)

Every switch needs a driver. Infineon’s range of EiceDRIVER™ families fit perfectly with CoolSiC™ MOSFETs. Ultra-fast switching 1200 V power transistors as CoolSiC™ MOSFETs can be easily handled with isolated gate output sections.

The gate driver ICs incorporate the most important key features and parameters for CoolSiC™ MOSFET driving such as tight propagation delay matching, precise input filters, wide output side supply range, negative gate voltage capability, and extended CMTI capability.
