Microchip Introduces 600V Gate Driver Family for High-Voltage Power Management Applications
The new gate driver family supports up to 600V operation, expanding the company’s high-voltage power solutions
CHANDLER, Ariz., Jan. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- To meet the demanding needs of high-voltage power management applications, Microchip Technology (Nasdaq: MCHP) today announces the introduction of its , featuring 12 devices available in half-bridge, high-side/low-side and 3-phase driver configurations. Building on Microchip’s power management solutions, these high-voltage gate drivers are designed to facilitate the development of motor control and power conversion systems for industrial and consumer applications.
The 600V gate drivers enable fast switching and efficient performance with current drive options from 600 mA to 4.5A. They support 3.3V logic for seamless integration with microcontrollers. Designed with enhanced noise immunity, Schmitt-triggered inputs and internal deadtime to protect MOSFETs, these gate drivers enable reliable performance in high-noise environments.
“Microchip’s 600V gate drivers give our customers the reliability and efficiency they need to tackle complex motor control and power conversion challenges,” said Rudy Jaramillo, VP of Microchip’s analog power and interface division. “These devices help engineers bring their power systems to market faster and with greater confidence.”
For a comprehensive system solution, Microchip’s motor control and power conversion products can be used alongside the company’s MCUs and MOSFETs. These gate drivers support industry trends such as the electrification of industrial systems, growth in renewable energy and the increasing demand for compact, efficient motor control solutions.
Microchip offers an array of gate drivers to support a wide range of applications from DC-DC power supplies to a host of motor applications, all while promoting high design flexibility, system efficiency and robust operation. To learn more about the company’s gate drivers, visit the .
