When to use high side gate driver ICs?
Automotive qualified high-side gate-driver ICs are included as well. The non-isolated TDI gate-driver family can be an attractive choice where high-side voltages reach not more than 100V, as is the case in some buck-boost circuitries, battery-powered motor drive applications and half-bridge or full-bridge synchronous rectification units.
Do you need a gate drive for a discrete switch?
State-of-the-art discrete switch families require tuning of gate drive circuits to take full advantage of their capacity and capabilities. An optimum gate drive configuration is essential for all power switches, whether they are in discrete form or in a power module.
What kind of gate driver does Infineon use?
The 1EDI2010AS is an isolated single channel high-voltage IGBT gate driver designed for motor drives above 5 kW (automotive applications). It is based on Infineon’s Coreless Transformer (CLT) technology, providing galvanic insulation between low voltage and high voltage domains.
What are the features of high side drivers?
High Side Drivers, with their integrated extra features are power switches that can handle high currents and work up to about 40V supply voltage. They require only a simple TTL logic input and incorporate a fault condition status output.
What are the different types of gate drivers?
We offer excellent product families of galvanic isolated gate drivers, automotive qualifies gate drivers, 200 V, 500-700 V, 1200 V level shift gate drivers, and non-isolated low-side drivers. Our portfolio spans a variety of configurations, voltage classes, isolation levels, protection features, and package options.
Which is high side MOSFET driver for SMPS?
General Description. The MIC5021 high-side MOSFET driver is designed to operate at frequencies up to 100 kHz (5 kHz PWM for 2% to 100% duty cycle) and is an ideal choice for high speed applications such as motor control, SMPS (switch mode power supplies), and applications using IGBTs.
