New isolated gate driver solution for the TO-247 SiC MOSFET

Broadcom® is expanding the gate driver family tailored for the SIC MOSFET. The new member, ACFL-3161, can be evaluated with the new evaluation board designed by the Kinestas.

New isolated gate driver solution for the TO-247 SiC MOSFET

Evaluation board EB1200-3161 features Broadcom’s dual output isolated gate drive optocouplers ACFL-3161, used to drive SiC MOSFETs in a discrete TO-247 package. The board features an integrated capacitor DC Bus with an optimized layout that minimizes the commutation loop inductance. The high-bandwidth current switch current measurement is implemented and it is realized as the low inductive planar Shunt resistor.
