62EM1-Programmable 62mm Electrical Series
Optimized for Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFET Modules
Overview
The AgileSwitch 62EM1-62mm Electrical driver provides monitoring and fault reporting information to enable
better control and analysis of SiC MOSFET-based power systems. The 62EM1 provides up to 20 Amps of peak
current at an operating frequency up to 200 kHz. The driver includes isolated HI and LO Side DC/DC converters
and provides 7 fault conditions that are reported as a combination of the 3 fault lines via the 20 pin control header.
All AgileSwitch drivers use automotive temperature grade components and allow for modifying settings of gate
resistors.
