Avnet Silica and onsemi provide your direct path to reliable EliteSiC solutions
New semiconductor technologies are closing the efficiency gap, helping us use electricity in the most effective and efficient way. The semiconductor industry is fundamental to the way we control energy conversion and manage its distribution. Silicon carbide provides greater control over power conversion, covering AC-DC, DC-AC and DC-DC. Thanks to its unique features, silicon carbide (SiC) delivers higher levels of efficiency.
Through strategic growth, onsemi has developed its own end-to-end SiC supply chain and total control over the quality and reliability of SiC at every manufacturing stage. This domain expertise is used to create SiC diodes, SiC MOSFETs and SiC modules that can be used in every application where the benefits of SiC technology provide a competitive advantage.
There are many applications where SiC plays a role. Avnet Silica and onsemi are committed to helping you find the best solution for your application. The Energy Infrastructure combines the three biggest application areas for SiC. This includes electric vehicles, renewable energy, and energy storage.
The energy infrastructure is experiencing huge and rapid growth. Demand for energy is only increasing as we move towards the era of full electrification. The focus is on creating an energy infrastructure that generates lower harmful emissions. SiC is one of the key technologies enabling this greener future.
The energy infrastructure will make this transition possible through new ways to control electricity. Connecting energy generation with energy consumption in the most efficient way will be critical. Energy conversion at the point of use will also become more efficient.
Avnet Silica and onsemi are working together to deliver the SiC solutions needed to realize a greener, cleaner energy infrastructure.

NCP51561 Drivers
The NCP51561 is a high-performance isolated dual-channel gate driver designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern power electronics applications. It features a robust drive capability with 4.5-A source and 9-A sink peak current, making it ideal for fast switching of power MOSFETs and SiC MOSFET power switches. The device offers short and matched propagation delays, ensuring precise timing and synchronization in high-speed applications. Each of the two independent gate driver channels is galvanically isolated with a 5 kVrms (UL1577 rating) rating, providing flexibility in configurations such as two low-side, two high-side switches, or a half-bridge driver with programmable dead time. NCP51561 supports a high working voltage of up to ~1,200 VDC due to its internal functional isolation between the secondary-side drivers for industrial applications.
In addition to its high drive strength and fast switching capabilities, the NCP51561 incorporates several critical protection features. It includes an independent under-voltage lockout (UVLO) for each gate driver, preventing operation under insufficient voltage conditions, and an enable function that allows both outputs to be simultaneously shut down when set low, enhancing system safety and power management. The device's enable pin provides additional system flexibility, allowing for reduced power consumption when the gate drivers are not in use.
Overall, the NCP51561 offers a comprehensive solution for high-performance power switching, combining fast, reliable operation with robust protection features and flexible configuration options. This makes it an ideal choice for engineers looking to optimize their power management systems for efficiency and reliability.
