Wolfspeed's Gen 5 SiC MOSFETs are engineered for real-world performance — not just ideal conditions. Built on optimized planar MOSFET design, Gen 5 achieves better RDS(ON) through tightened epitaxy, increased active area, and enhanced soft body diode technology. The result: lower losses, higher reliability, and greater design confidence for automotive and industrial applications.
Evaluation Gate Driver Tool Optimized for the 1700 V BM2 Module Platform
CGD1700HB2P-BM2
Wolfspeed’s CGD1700HB2P-BM2 is a form-factor-fitting, two-channel gate driver for the Gen3 62mm power module platform (BM2). Each of the two gate drive channels features over-current protection, an active Miller clamp, and separate turn-on and turn-off gate resistors for effortlessly tuning switching speeds. Onboard 2 W isolated power supplies support up to 70 kHz switching frequency. The gate driver board features MMCX connectors to accurately measure high-side and low-side VGS with fiber optically isolated probes such as the TIVP1 from Tektronix®.
