As AI scales, a greater lens is on the upstream power sources that are expected to keep up with rapidly expanding data center deployments. Amperesand is helping build the cornerstone of tomorrow’s grid by developing highly reliable, medium voltage (MV) SiC-based solid state transformers. Read more to learn how Amperesand and Wolfspeed partnered to make it happen.
Evaluation Gate Driver Tool Optimized for the 1200 V XM3 Module Platform
CGD12HBXMP
Note Not recommended for new designs. Recommended replacement:CGD1200HB2P-XM3
Wolfspeed’s CGD12HBXMP is a form-factor-fitting; two-channel gate driver for the 1200 V XM3 power module platform with inline gate pins. Each of the two gate drive channels is protected against over-current and reverse polarity. The on-board 2 W isolated power supplies support 80 kHz switching frequency.
Specifications
- Optimized for Wolfspeed’s high-performance XM3 SiC half bridge power modules
- DC bus voltage up to 1000V
- On-board 2 W isolated power supplies supporting 80 kHz switching frequency
- User-configurable turn-on and turn-off gate resistors enabling switching loss optimization
- On-board overcurrent; shoot-through prevention; and reverse polarity protection
- Differential inputs for increased noise immunity
- Very low isolation capacitance (<5 pF) and 100 kV/μs common-mode transient immunity (CMTI)
- Fault and power indicator LEDs for instant visual feedback
