Gate Drive Solutions & Development Kits Applications Overview Inverters Powerex provides a variety of gate drivers and accessory components to simplify your power semiconductor development. This includes: High frequency power supplies Gate Drivers – Power amplifiers that take signal-level control input and create the desired gate drive output for power transistors. They provide optically isolated control signals to the power transistors which demand higher voltage and current than can be provided by a 5V logic control signal. Built-in desaturation protection is included on most types. DC-DC Converters – On board power supplies that offer 15V and 24V isolated input and output DC voltage. Over current protection circuits are built in. Plug & Play Drivers – Completely populated gate driver boards designed to drive specific modules or IGBT packages. Prototype Development Kits – Complete gate drive circuits designed for use with IGBT models intended to shorten prototype build time, not for commercial production use. AC servo systems Welding Induction heating General industrial use Prototyping & production Product Advantages Reduce engineering design time and expense by utilizing proven gate drive designs. Compact designs save costly Plug & Play Driver Solutions space in circuit layouts. Plug & Play Driver Solution Built in, isolated DC-to-DC converters included on most gate drivers.
