STMicroelectronics EVALSTGAP2SICD Demonstration Board

STMicroelectronics EVALSTGAP2SICD Demonstration Board is used to evaluate the STGAP2SiCD isolated dual gate driver. The EVALSTGAP2SICD has a 4A current capability and rail-to-rail outputs. It’s suitable for high power applications like motor drivers in industrial applications equipped with SiC power switches. The device integrates protection functions like dedicated SD and BRAKE pins are available. UVLO and thermal shutdown are also included to easily design high-reliability systems. The interlocking function prevents outputs from being high at the same time.
