I am using digital pins 9 and 10 to generate a 10kHz PWM on Arduino Uno. So, I got 2 PWMs.
But I need to drive 8 IGBT gate drivers using these 2 PWMs (4 IGBTs using PWM1 and other 4 IGBTs using PWM2).
When I connected 2 PWM pin of Arduino to 4+4 gate drivers, the Arduino went bad and doesn't work any more because the gate drivers might have pulled in a lot of current. So, I was wondering if there is any product or extension that I can use to avoid this problem and power 8 gate drivers using 2 PWM signals.
I see an Adafruit extension board https://www.adafruit.com/product/815#Slide3 but it has a frequency limitation of 1.5kHz.
Any help would be appreciated.

Can you post the specs of you IGBTs? Also a schematic of how you want/ tried to connect them.
