Silicon Carbide Gate Driving Considerations from ADI & Wolfspeed

www.analog.com/en/products/in... Analog Devices iCoupler isolated gate drivers are combined with Wolfspeed's market leading MOSFETS to deliver high efficiency and high reliability system solutions across industrial, energy and automotive applications. This video reveals the nuances and details of a successful SiC design. Gate driver considerations are examined including understanding datasheet test conditions for driving switches, and reducing switching loss including hidden resistive elements like RDSON and the switches internal gate resistance. Saturation considerations are reviewed for both SiC MOSFETS and IGBTs. The necessary SCP (short circuit protection) is discussed including typical fault detection methods. The positive impact of higher Common-Mode Transient Immunity (CMTI) to increase efficiency, the minimization of circuit parasitics and optimized DESAT detection and soft shutdown are also investigated. Find the application support materials needed to make your design a success too, including industry relevant references designs, curated & solution-specific combined evaluation platforms and hardware design packages and test results.

Very educational.
What is a Source pour?

I used to use a HP OPtO device I think was purchased by Avago. Any new devices out there?

Maximum switching frequency could be derived from several parts, for example, maximum puwer dissipation of the gate driver IC
