600V gate driver family for high voltage power management applications

To meet the demanding needs of high-voltage power management applications, Microchip Technology announces the introduction of its 600V Gate Driver portfolio, featuring 12 devices available in half-bridge, high-side/low-side and 3-phase driver configurations. Building on Microchip’s power management solutions, these high-voltage gate drivers are designed to facilitate the development of motor control and power conversion systems for industrial and consumer applications.

The 600V gate drivers enable fast switching and efficient performance with current drive options from 600 mA to 4.5A. They support 3.3V logic for seamless integration with microcontrollers. Designed with enhanced noise immunity, Schmitt-triggered inputs and internal deadtime to protect MOSFETs, these gate drivers enable reliable performance in high-noise environments.

Microchip’s motor control and power conversion products can be used alongside the company’s MCUs and MOSFETs. These gate drivers support industry trends such as the electrification of industrial systems, growth in renewable energy and the increasing demand for compact, efficient motor control solutions.

Microchip offers an array of gate drivers to support a wide range of applications from DC-DC power supplies to a host of motor applications, all while promoting high design flexibility, system efficiency and robust operation.

The 600V gate drivers are supported by simulation models enabling engineers to mitigate design risks before prototyping.
