MODULES FOR SIC/GAN GATE DRIVER

SiC and GaN Drivers: Performance for High Power Supply

To ensure ever higher power and efficiency requirements, new power supply solutions have been developed with extremely advanced materials, such as Wide Band Gap (WBG) or wide bandgap semiconductors, of which gallium nitride (GaN) and silicon carbide (SiC).

SiC and GaN driver modules show outstanding performance compared to traditional MOSFET transistors or IGBT insulated-gate bipolar drivers: lower energy losses, higher switching frequencies and operating temperatures, robustness in harsh environments, and higher breakdown voltages.

Compared to classic silicon devices, SiC and GaN semiconductors allow systems to operate with much higher voltages, frequencies and temperatures, thanks to the approximately 10 times better conduction and switching properties: this makes SiC and GaN modules particularly performing in the sector of industrial power electronics, including electric mobility.

Compactness, speed and efficiency distinguish the gallium nitride and silicon carbide DC/DC converters, making them ideal solutions for high power supply and to experiment with different design options, depending on specific application requirements.

Digimax and Mornsun: partners for electric mobility solutions

In partnership with Mornsun, a company specialized in the production of power transformers and modules, Digimax offers the QA series of DC/DC converters specifically designed for GaN and SiC MOSFET devices that need two different isolated power supplies.

Mornsun SiC and GaN driver modules extremely efficiently supply power to high-power devices such as control systems, welding machines, and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), thanks to the 3.5 pF capacitor and built-in short-circuit protection system .

In particular, high-power GaN and SiC transistors are proving to be interesting solutions for electric mobility: the sector is moving towards more efficient cables and connectors for electric vehicles, high-voltage and high-capacity batteries, charging stations with shorter short and low losses.
