New generation gate driver for 1200 V SiC MOSFET six-pack modules

Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for a new six-channel silicon carbide MOSFET driver from Wolfspeed, a Cree Company.

The CGD15FB45P1 features six output channels, isolated power supply, a direct-mount low inductance design, short circuit protection, and over-temperature and under-voltage protection.

The device represents a new generation of gate driver boards for Wolfspeed’s CCS020M12CM2 and CCS050M12CM2 1200 V SiC MOSFET power modules in two-level, three-phase inverter applications.

The new gate driver has a smaller footprint and enhanced functionality over the previous version, including increased power per channel that enables the maximum switching frequency to increase to 250 kHz.
