Infineon Dual-Channel MOSFET/IGBT Gate Driver IC SOIC-16 2.5A

The Infineon Dual-Channel MOSFET/IGBT Gate Driver IC is a surface-mount component with a peak output current of 2.5A, engineered for precise control of power switches.

Overview

The driver features robust CMOS Schmitt-triggered inputs with internal pull-down resistors, supporting reliable logic-level interfacing and noise immunity in demanding electronic environments. It is configured for both high-side and low-side applications, making it suitable for half-bridge and full-bridge topologies commonly used in motor drives, switch-mode power supplies, and DC-DC converters.

Key Features

• Matched propagation delays for both channels, supporting timing accuracy and helping to prevent shoot-through in bridge circuits
• Undervoltage lockout (UVLO) for each channel, ensuring the driver operates only within a safe voltage range
• Tolerant to negative transient voltage and dv/dt immunity, providing resilience against electrical noise and voltage spikes
• Cycle-by-cycle edge-triggered shutdown logic for rapid fault response
• Outputs in-phase with the inputs for straightforward system design
• Capable of swiftly charging and discharging large gate capacitances, minimising switching losses
