Charged EVs | Infineon launches remoted gate driver ICs with opto-emulator enter for SiC migration

As the facility electronics business shifts from silicon IGBTs to SiC MOSFETs—pushed largely by the effectivity calls for of EV inverters, onboard chargers and DC quick charging—one persistent headache has been the gate driver. Legacy designs constructed round optocouplers and opto-emulators usually want vital rework to deal with SiC’s sooner switching speeds and better noise immunity necessities.

Infineon’s new EiceDRIVER 1ED301xMC12I household is designed to eradicate that barrier. The remoted gate driver ICs are pin-compatible with present opto-emulators and optocouplers, permitting them to function drop-in replacements in legacy designs whereas delivering the efficiency SiC calls for.

The household consists of three variants—the 1ED3010, 1ED3011 and 1ED3012—supporting Si MOSFETs, IGBTs and SiC MOSFETs respectively. Key specs embody as much as 6.5 A of output present, CMTI exceeding 300 kV/µs, propagation delay of 40 ns and timing matching under 10 ns. The gadgets are available a CTI 600 6-pin DSO package deal with greater than 8 mm creepage and clearance, and use a pure PMOS sourcing stage for improved turn-on efficiency.

Goal purposes embody motor drives, photo voltaic inverters, EV chargers and vitality storage programs. All three variants can be found now, together with an analysis board (EVAL-1ED3012MC12I-SIC).
