Allegro announces Power-Thru combo chip
Provides engineers with greater flexibility in designing for higher power output in EV chargers
Allegro MicroSystems has launched the third product in its high voltage Power-Thru portfolio.
The two-chip AHV85000 and AHV85040 isolated gate-driver IC solutions work together with external transformers in applications such as solar inverters, EV charging infrastructures and energy storage systems, as well as data centre power supply units.
The new combo chip features the same benefits found in Allegro’s existing gate driver technology but relocates the isolation transformer from internal to external.
By doing so, Allegro says engineers have more flexibility for choosing the isolation level, the best fit-for-purpose transformer, and where to put the isolation barrier within the system.
