Optimising switching performance in SiC and GaN power designs
Video Summary
Sudhir Nagaraj - Director of Systems and Market Development, Allegro MicroSystems, explains that while SiC and GaN devices support high-frequency switching, they frequently encounter system-level limitations – from bulky external bias supplies to slow protection loops – that impede optimal performance. At the recent PCIM event, Allegro demonstrated how integration of sensing and gate driving removes these constraints to enable faster switching, improved efficiency and higher power density in applications like AI data centers and 800V electric vehicle (EV) architectures.
