Gate Drive Evaluation Platform (GDEV)

The gate drive evaluation platform (GDEV) is an evaluation kit that has been designed to demonstrate the continuous operation of SiC power MOSFETs and diodes in a half bridge configuration.

It provides a set of well-defined test conditions and quick-connection functionality to evaluate and compare the performance of different driving board designs with different driver ICs.

It also features a full thermal solution that allows for the continuous operation of the power devices under high voltage and high current with real power delivery.

The Gate Drive Evaluation Platform from Littelfuse enables users to: 

  • Evaluate continuous operation of SiC power MOSFETs and diodes under rated voltage and rated current, delivering real power to the load
  • Analyze system-level impacts associated with SiC-based designs
    • Efficiency improvements
    • EMI emissions
    • Passive components (size, weight, cost) 
  • Compare performance of different gate driver solutions under well-defined, optimized test conditions
  • Test gate driving circuits under continuous working conditions to evaluate thermal performance and EMI immunity
