This fusion of software-defined digital gate drivers
and SiC devices not only presents engineers with
a powerful platform for developing high-efficiency
power products but also reduces the time to market
for these products by shifting design away from
hardware and toward software. The ability to adapt
a circuits' function in a matter of seconds rather
than weeks (keystrokes vs. soldering gate resistors)
can translate to reduced times to market by six
months—a speedup simply not possible with other
technologies.
The outstanding electrical and physical
characteristics of SiC compared to Si
provide designers with more flexibility
in system design. At the same time,
SiC devices also have smaller EMI filter
requirements, fewer passives, and reduced
harmonics, which makes it relatively easier
to pass the EMI EMC compliances."
