Skyworks Launches Si829x EV Gate Driver Platform for Enhanced Inverter Performance
Skyworks Solutions has introduced the Si829x isolated safety gate driver, designed for electric vehicle (EV) traction inverters and related systems. This platform improves inverter efficiency by up to 44% and reduces system costs, significant for the growing EV market.

Skyworks Solutions, Inc. unveiled its Si829x isolated safety gate driver at PCIM 2026, aimed at enhancing inverter efficiency for electric vehicles and electrified systems. The Si829x is compliant with ISO 26262 standards and supports applications in battery electric, hybrid vehicles, eTrucking, and eVTOL aircraft.
Key features include reduced switching losses, improved thermal efficiency, and a compact design. It utilizes ProVCD™ technology for precise control and supports both SiC FETs and IGBTs. Production of the Si829x is scheduled for late July 2026, with demonstrations planned at the expo to showcase its capabilities in inverter optimization.
