MGD3160AM315EK

MGD3160AM315EK is a GD3160 series advanced single-channel gate driver designed to drive the latest SiC and IGBT modules for xEV traction inverters, OBC and DC-DC converters. This offers integrated galvanic isolation, a programmable interface via SPI, and advanced programmable protection features, such as overtemperature, desaturation and current sense protection. It is capably drives SiC MOSFETs and IGBT gates directly: its high gate current and programmable gate drive voltage features provide high performance switching, low dynamic on-resistance, and rail-to-rail gate voltage control. Safety and regulatory approvals are Reinforced isolation per DIN V VDE V 0884-10, withstand 5000V rms (1 minute) isolation per UL 1577, CSA component acceptance notice 5A, AEC-Q100 grade 1 automotive qualified.
