H-Bridge Question

I am hoping to run one of the H-bridge modules or to make an H-bridge using Wolfspeed products. However, I notice that there are only half-bridge driver modules available for purchase. Is it possible to use two half-bridge drivers such as the CGD1700HB2P-BM3 to control an H-bridge?

The H-bridge needs to support a DC bus of 1300 V or more. Any guidance here would be most appreciated.

    Hi Doyle,

    Yes, utilizing two half-bridge gate drivers to control a full-bridge is acceptable. The CGD1700HB2P-BM3 is able to support a bus voltage of 1300 V. The CGD1700HB2M-UNA is also a popular choice in a smaller form factor.

    Best Regards,

    Austin C.
