Mouser Now Stocking the Skyworks Si828x-BAWB-KIT Gate Driver Board for XM3 Aimed at Automotive/EV and Industrial Apps

June 6, 2023 – Mouser Electronics, Inc., the authorized global distributor with the newest semiconductors and electronic components, is now stocking the Si828x-BAWB-KIT gate driver board for XM3 from Skyworks Solutions, Inc. Intended to replace more complex power stage designs with a simpler, cost-effective solution, the Si828x-BAWB-KIT is Skyworks' next generation isolated gate driver board (GDB) reference design optimized for Silicon Carbide (SiC) Field Effect Transistors (FETs).

The Si828x-BAWB-KIT touts an enhanced GDB layout perfect for Silicon SiC FETs like the XM3 half-bridge module from Wolfspeed, which works in tandem with the Skyworks GDB to immensely improve power density and power efficiency for demanding automotive applications such as hybrid electric vehicles, EV drivetrains, and EV fast chargers, as well as industrial motor drives, power supplies, and AC, Brushless and DC motor controls.

The Si828x-BAWB-KIT gate driver board available combines the robust Skyworks' GDB short-circuit protection features with the rugged SiC XM3 module to better shield the high voltage/high current XM3 module from overload and circuit damage and effortlessly implement the power switching stage of a system. The Si828x gate driver board was specifically designed to protect the XM3 power module during a short circuit event, detecting any load fault and shutting off the power module in under a microsecond.

The Si828x-BAWB-KIT includes two Skyworks Si828x  isolated gate drivers (the Si8284 and Si8285) in a half-bridge configuration. The kit features two isolated power supplies, a peak output current of +20A/-30A and a Common‐Mode Transient Immunity (CMTI) of 125 kV/µs. The isolation voltage is 5 kV, and the Si828x-BAWB-KIT offers desaturation detection and Miller Clamp protection for the FETs. Status indicator LEDs and test points are provided to ease the evaluation and prototyping process.

The Wolfspeed XM3 half-bridge module offers a high-power density footprint with half the weight and volume of a standard 62 mm module, low Inductance (6.5 nH), integrated temperature sensing and a dedicated Drain-Kelvin Pin. The XM3 module implements a conduction-optimized, third-generation MOSFET technology that maximizes the benefits of SiC while minimizing loop inductance and enabling simpler power bussing which keeps the system design robust, simple and cost-effective. Together, the Wolfspeed XM3 module and Skyworks GDB enhance power density over previous modules and discrete approaches to offer a complete, pre-tested and proven solution for the market.
