Microchip Digital Programmable Gate Driver

Digital Programmable Gate Drivers

The AgileSwitch family of digital programmable gate drivers was designed to address the critical challenges that emerge in operating SiC and IGBT power devices at high switching frequencies. They are optimized for transportation and industrial applications including heavy-duty vehicles, auxiliary power units, charging, storage, inverters and induction heating. AgileSwitch gate drivers feature Augmented Switching™ technology and robust short-circuit protection and are fully software configurable. They can can switch up to 200 kHz and provide up to seven unique fault and monitoring conditions, including temperature and high-voltage monitoring.


Key Benefits

AgileSwitch drivers provide industry-leading capabilities, including:

Up to 50% lower switching losses
Up to 80% lower Vds overshoot
Robust and fast short-circuit protection
Lower EMI
Improved fault monitoring and protection
