XYS Integrated Circuits Division Introduces a New Low Cost Dual 5A Gate Driver IC
June 22 2017 - 8:30AM
IXYS Integrated Circuits Division (ICD), Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of IXYS Corporation (NASDAQ:IXYS), announced the
immediate availability of the IX4340 low cost Dual 5A Gate Driver
IC. The IX4340 features two high current outputs, both capable of
sourcing and sinking up to 5A. Both outputs have an absolute
maximum voltage rating of 20V. With matched propagation delays, the
identical output drivers can be connected in parallel for higher
current applications. The logic inputs are TTL and CMOS logic
compatible, and there is an Enable function for each output.
Under-voltage lockout circuitry prevents the high-side source
driver from conducting until there is sufficient supply voltage.
Fast propagation delay times (16ns typical) and
fast rise and fall times (7ns typical) make the IX4340 well suited
for high frequency applications. The gate driver has an
extended operating temperature range of -40 degrees C to +125
degrees C, and has a +/-4kV ESD rating (human body model). The
IX4340 is supplied in a thermally enhanced 8-lead SOIC package
(IX434NE) and a standard 8-lead SOIC package (IX434N).
The low cost IX4340 is well suited for driving
power MOSFETs and IGBTs in high power SMPS applications, power
inverters, DC to DC converters, and motor controls. The
IX4340 is the latest addition to IXYS ICD’s extensive gate driver
portfolio. For even higher gate drive requirements, IXYS ICD offers
14A (IXD_614 series) and 30A (IXD_630 series) gate driver
ICs.
IXYS offers the largest portfolio of drivers for
power devices, non-isolated, optically isolated and transformer
isolated drivers for power SiC and Si MOSFETS, IGBTs, thyristors
and respective power modules. The drivers match very well the wide
selection of IXYS Power Semiconductors.
