- #### Reduce your module weight Reduce your module weight by eliminating that custom isolated supply and all the components that entails:  - extra magnetic's - extra winding's  - extra silicon & passive components - separate isolated supply module ## Leverage these gate drive benefits at module level ## Create competitive advantage - faster #### Heyday's unique benefits go far beyond the driving. #### The whole module benefits from increased simplicity and efficiency.     ## Make superior modules for any application  ![icon tesla trans](https://imgplaceholder.com/100x100/e0e7ee/f2f5f8/glyphicon-picture?font-size=30) #### Automotive ![icon solar panel trans](https://imgplaceholder.com/100x100/e0e7ee/f2f5f8/glyphicon-picture?font-size=30) #### Solar Inverters ![icon motor trans](https://imgplaceholder.com/100x100/e0e7ee/f2f5f8/glyphicon-picture?font-size=30) #### Motor drives ![icon robot trans](https://imgplaceholder.com/100x100/e0e7ee/f2f5f8/glyphicon-picture?font-size=30) #### Robotics ![icon server trans](https://imgplaceholder.com/100x100/e0e7ee/f2f5f8/glyphicon-picture?font-size=30) #### Data Centres ![icon AC trans](https://imgplaceholder.com/100x100/e0e7ee/f2f5f8/glyphicon-picture?font-size=30) #### HVAC ![icon charger trans](https://imgplaceholder.com/100x100/e0e7ee/f2f5f8/glyphicon-picture?font-size=30) #### Chargers ![icon amplifier trans](https://imgplaceholder.com/100x100/e0e7ee/f2f5f8/glyphicon-picture?font-size=30) #### Class D audio ![icon appliance trans](https://imgplaceholder.com/100x100/e0e7ee/f2f5f8/glyphicon-picture?font-size=30) #### Appliances ![icon UPS trans](https://imgplaceholder.com/100x100/e0e7ee/f2f5f8/glyphicon-picture?font-size=30) #### UPS ![icon spaceship trans](https://imgplaceholder.com/100x100/e0e7ee/f2f5f8/glyphicon-picture?font-size=30) #### Aerospace ![icon electric drill trans](https://imgplaceholder.com/100x100/e0e7ee/f2f5f8/glyphicon-picture?font-size=30) #### Power tools   ## High performance and simplified design #### Standard included in all our gate drivers   ## ![Hey1011-xLx trans 600x600](https://bgouverneur.ovh/hs-fs/hubfs/website%20files/Hey1011-xLx%20trans%20600x600.png?width=200&name=Hey1011-xLx%20trans%20600x600.png) ### GaN driver [![Find Out More](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/3940093/439a332e-b5f7-46a0-a11f-0a6c11c906f1.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/3940093/439a332e-b5f7-46a0-a11f-0a6c11c906f1)   ![Hey2011-xLx trans 600x600](https://bgouverneur.ovh/hs-fs/hubfs/website%20files/Hey2011-xLx%20trans%20600x600.png?width=200&name=Hey2011-xLx%20trans%20600x600.png) ### MOS driver [![Stay updated](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/3940093/4c5dd9ab-429f-4781-80b3-86b3e7545164.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/3940093/4c5dd9ab-429f-4781-80b3-86b3e7545164)   ### ![Hey3011-xLx trans 150x150](https://bgouverneur.ovh/hs-fs/hubfs/website%20files/Hey3011-xLx%20trans%20150x150.png?width=200&name=Hey3011-xLx%20trans%20150x150.png) ### SiC driver [![Stay updated](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/3940093/4c5dd9ab-429f-4781-80b3-86b3e7545164.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/3940093/4c5dd9ab-429f-4781-80b3-86b3e7545164) [![LogoWhite trans](https://bgouverneur.ovh/hubfs/website%20files/Allegro%20files/LogoWhite%20trans.png)](https://bgouverneur.ovh) - [Legal Stuff](https://bgouverneur.ovh/legal) - [Privacy Policy](https://bgouverneur.ovh/legal) Copyright © 2024 Allegro Microsystems LLC
