        Power Integrations (NASDAQ: POWI), a leader in gate driver technology for medium- and high-voltage inverter applications, today introduced a new family of plug-and-play gate drivers for 62mm Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFET and Silicon IGBT modules rated up to 1,700V with enhanced protection to ensure safe and reliable operation. The SCALE™-2 2SP0230T2x0 dual-channel gate driver deploys short-circuit protection in less than 2 microseconds to protect compact SiC MOSFETs from overcurrent damage. The new driver also features an advanced active clamp (AAC) function that protects the switch from overvoltage during shutdown, enabling higher DC bus operating voltages.
 
 
        The 2SP0230T2x0 gate driver offers a very high degree of design flexibility; the same hardware can be used to drive SiC MOSFET or IGBT modules," said Thorsten Schmidt, product marketing manager at Power Integrations. This reduces system design and procurement challenges, and the plug-and-play approach speeds up development."
        Based on Power Integrations' proven SCALE-2 technology, the 2SP0230T2x0 gate driver offers greater integration, smaller size, enhanced functionality and higher system reliability, making it ideal for applications such as rail transit auxiliary converters, electric vehicle off-board charging units and grid static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) regulators. Power Integrations' compact 2SP0230T2x0 form factor of 134x62mm provides 1700V reinforced insulation to drive power modules with withstand voltages up to 1700V; this is 500V higher than conventional drivers that are typically limited to 1200V.
        Samples of the SCALE-2 2SP0230T2x0 plug-and-play gate driver are available now. For pricing information, please contact your local sales representative. For more information, visit power.com.
