Description
The STGAP2SiCS is an isolated single gate driver.
The gate driver is characterized by 4 A current capability and rail-to-rail outputs, making the device also suitable for high power inverter applications such as motor drivers in industrial applications equipped with SiC MOSFET power switches.
The configuration featuring single output pin and Miller CLAMP function allow avoiding gate spikes during fast commutations in half-bridge topologies.
