Evaluation Gate Driver Tool Optimized for the XM3 Module Platform

Wolfspeed’s CGD12HBXMP is a form-factor-fitting; two-channel gate driver for the XM3 power module platform. Each of the two gate drive channels is protected against over-current and reverse polarity. The on-board 2 W isolated power supplies support 80 kHz switching frequency.

Specifications

• Optimized for Wolfspeed’s high-performance XM3 SiC half bridge power modules
• DC bus voltage up to 1000V
• On-board 2 W isolated power supplies supporting 80 kHz switching frequency
• User-configurable turn-on and turn-off gate resistors enabling switching loss optimization
• On-board overcurrent; shoot-through prevention; and reverse polarity protection
• Differential inputs for increased noise immunity
• Very low isolation capacitance (<5 pF) and 100 kV/μs common-mode transient immunity (CMTI)
• Fault and power indicator LEDs for instant visual feedback
