Silicon Labs new SI828X version 2 Extended isolation gate driver product series

     Dedicated to establish Silicon Labs, a leading chip, software and solution supplier that is more intelligent and connected in the world. This update enables the product series to achieve efficient silicon carbide (SIC) field effect crystal tube (FET) gate driver, thereby meeting the continuous development of half -bridge and full bridge inverters and power markets. Reduce the operating temperature and reduce switch loss.

     Brian Mirkin, Vice President and General Manager of Silicon Labs, said: "The SI828X product series has a number of advantages, which makes it very suitable for hybrid and electric vehicles (EV) and industrial applications. Customers using SIC FET for power switch can greatly benefit from the unique functional combination of SI828X, including strong gate drivers, strong de -saturated fault responses and high efficiency Miller clamping. "

     Wolfspeed, the main provider of Silicon Labs and SIC solutions, has passed the test of Wolfspeed SIC MOSFET.Jay Cameron, senior vice president and general manager of power supply products Wolfspeed, said: "SIC can meet consumers' demand for higher endurance mileage and faster charging, so the use of SIC in power conversion and inverter application is rapidly increasing. . Optimized grid drives for SIC MOSFET can maximize the effect of SIC in these applications. "

     Wolfspeed SIC FET used with the SI828X series can improve power and conversion efficiency, which means that fewer battery units, more power transmitted to the motor, and lower operating costs.
