Silicon Carbide (SiC) semiconductors are an innovative newoption for power electronic designers looking for improvedsystem efficiency, smaller form factor and higher operating temperature in products covering industrial, medical,mil-aerospace, aviation, and communcation marketsegments. Microsemi’s next-generation SiC MOSFETS andSiC SBDs are designed with higher repetitive unclampedinductive switching (UIS) capability at rated current,with no degradation or failures. The new SiC MOSFETsmaintain high UIS capability at approximately 10-15 Joulesper square centimeter (J/cm2) and robust short circuitprotection at 3-5 microseconds. The company’s SiC SBDsare designed with balanced surge current,forward voltage, thermal resistance and thermal capacitance ratings atlow reverse current for lower switching loss. In addition,its SiC MOSFET and SiC SBD die can paired together foruse in modules. SiC MOSFET and SiC SBD products fromMicrosemi will be qualified to the AEC-Q101 standard.

SP6LISiC模塊參考設計

This reference design provides an example of a highly isolated SiC MOSFET dual-gate driver for the SP6LISiC phase leg modules. It can be configured by switches to drive in a half-bridge configuration with onlyone side on at any time and with dead time protection. It can also be configured to provide concurrentdrive, if necessary. This design is intended for use with MicrosemiSiC SP6LI modules. The dead time andgate drive resistance are adjusted by the user to match the requirements of the application. Optionaldead time protection and optional desaturation protection makes device evaluation easier while lowering the risk of damaging parts.

This design is offered as an engineering tool for the evaluation of Microsemi SP6LI SiC modules in alaboratory environment. It has not been tested at voltage across the insulation boundaries. It is theresponsibility of the engineer to use the proper safety equipment and procedures. Refer to theappropriate UL or IEC standards for guidance on insulation and creepage requirements.
