Microchip Technology has introduced a new family of 600V gate drivers designed for high-voltage power management applications. The portfolio includes 12 devices offered in half-bridge, high-side/low-side, and three-phase configurations, supporting the development of motor control and power conversion systems across industrial and consumer markets.
The new gate drivers deliver fast switching performance with current drive options ranging from 600 mA to 4.5A and support 3.3V logic levels for direct compatibility with microcontrollers. Enhanced noise immunity, Schmitt-triggered inputs, and built-in deadtime protection help safeguard MOSFETs and ensure stable operation in electrically noisy environments.
Rudy Jaramillo, Vice President of Microchip’s Analog Power and Interface division, said the new devices are designed to help engineers address complex motor control and power conversion challenges. He added that the gate drivers provide the reliability and efficiency required to accelerate development cycles and bring power systems to market with greater confidence.
The 600V gate driver family complements Microchip’s broader portfolio of motor control and power conversion solutions, including microcontrollers and MOSFETs. Together, these technologies support key industry trends such as industrial electrification, renewable energy adoption, and growing demand for compact, energy-efficient motor control designs. By expanding its high-voltage power management offerings, Microchip continues to support designers developing next-generation systems that require efficiency, robustness, and scalability across a wide range of applications.
