Section I: Introduction
The GA15IDDJT22-FR4 provides an optimized gate drive solution for 10 and 20 mΩ SiC Junction
Transistors (SJT). The board utilizes DC/DC converters and FOD3182 signal opto-isolation as well as totem-pole gate driver ICs providing fast switching and customizable continuous gate currents necessary for any SJT device. Its footprint and 12 V supply voltage make it a plug-in replacement for existing SiC MOSFET gate drive solutions.

Section II: Compatibility with SiC SJTs
The GA15IDDJT22-FR4 has an installed gate resistance (RG) of 0.7 Ω on-board which may need to be modified by the user for safe operation of certain SJT parts. Please see the table below and Section VI for more information.
