The NCP-NCV51563D2PAK7LGEVB is an evaluation board for the NCP/NCV51563 gate driver family, which is suitable for driving the SiC MOSFETs typically used to achieve high efficiency in BESS power conversion circuits.
The board features an NCP51563 gate driver and two SiC MOSFETs in a standard D2PAK-7L package. The NCP51563 is an isolated dual-channel gate driver with 4.5A/9A source and sink peak current.
The gate driver supports the fast-switching requirement of power MOSFETs and SiC MOSFET power switches. The NCP51563 offers short and matched propagation delays, and provides independently 5kVrms of internal galvanic isolation from input to each output. Internal functional isolation between the two output drivers allows for a working voltage of up to 1850V DC.
This driver can be used in any possible configuration of two low-side or two high-side switches, or a half-bridge driver with programmable dead time.
