Isolated Gate Drivers

Self-Powered Isolated SiC Driver with Power-Thru Integrated Isolated Bias Supply

AHV85311

The AHV85311 is an isolated gate driver optimized for discrete SiC FETs, featuring an integrated dual positive/negative output bias supply to simplify system design. Its bipolar output rails offer a selectable regulated positive and adjustable negative off-state for improved dv/dt immunity.

Allegro High Voltage Gate Drivers

GaN and SiC power devices are expected to rapidly gain market share in electric vehicle and green energy applications. Allegro’s isolated gate driver solutions use a single, small-footprint package that integrates an isolated gate driver, an isolated power supply, and associated passive components.

This significantly reduces system design time and complexity and makes it possible for designers to take advantage of the full efficiency benefits that WBG switches provide. Additionally, the reduced system design time and complexity help alleviate the need for additional engineering and design resource
