Si8285_86v2-KIT

Si8285/86 Isolated Gate Driver Evaluation Kit

The Si8285_86 evaluation board allows system designers to evaluate the features and specifications of the Si8285 and Si8286 isolated SiC FET and IGBT drivers. Sockets are provided to allow the user to mount a SiC FET, IGBT, daughter card, or representative capacitor directly to the board. Power is applied through screw terminals, and signals can be applied or monitored through headers. Gate drive current boost daughter cards are also included for evaluation.
