Silicon Carbide (SiC) is quickly becoming the go-to technology for power devices that use higher switching frequencies. SiC has great potential over existing material but requires different design parameters and optimization process.
If you’re looking to transition to SiC, or trying to get the most out of your SiC-based design, then a great way to aid in the design process is using a well-established development kit and platform proven to help engineers.
Microchip’s Augmented Switching Accelerated Development Kits (ASDAK) for digital gate drivers offer a great way to rapidly optimize the performance of Silicon Carbide modules and systems. This tool enables designers to adjust system performance quickly using the AgileSwitch Intelligent Configuration Tool (ICT) and a device programmer, with no soldering needed. This means you can quickly and easily change complex driver settings from benchtop or even in the field.
Within the platform the tool allows for different drive parameters including On/Off Gate Voltages, DC Link and Temperature Fault Levels, and Augmented Switching profiles, to name a few. Just remember optimizing your driver settings can significantly improve switching efficiency, overshoot, ringing, and short circuit protection. With so many great benefits it is essential to start designing with the assistance of powerful tools that Microchip has developed.
