New Series of High-Side/Low-Side Gate Drivers from Diodes Incorporated Delivers Higher Performance in an SO-8 Package
February 26 2019 - 10:00AM
Business Wire
Diodes Incorporated (Nasdaq: DIOD), a leading global
manufacturer and supplier of high-quality, application specific
standard products within the broad discrete, logic, analog and
mixed-signal semiconductor markets, today announced a new family of
high-voltage, high-speed gate drivers for converters, inverters,
motor control, and Class-D power amplifier applications. These
devices are suitable for motor drive applications up to 100V, and
simultaneously able to support power conversion and inversion
applications operating at 200V. These features make them
well-suited for a number of consumer and industrial designs,
including power tools, robotics and drones, as well as small
electric vehicles.
The DGD2003S8, DGD2005S8, and DGD2012S8 are 200V gate drivers
covering half-bridge and high-side/low-side topologies, offered in
the standard low-profile SO-8 package. These devices feature
junction isolated level-shift technology to create a floating
channel high-side driver for use in a bootstrap topology operating
at up to 200V, with the ability to drive two N-channel MOSFETs in a
half-bridge configuration.
All devices in the series feature standard TTL/CMOS logic inputs
with Schmitt triggering and are able to operate down to 3.3V,
making it simple to interface the drivers to control circuitry. The
outputs are designed to withstand negative transients and include
undervoltage lock-out for high-side and low-side drivers.
With a source and sink current of 290mA and 600mA, respectively
for the DGD2003S8 and DGD2005S8, and 1.9A and 2.3A, respectively
for the DGD2012S8, power efficiency is maintained across the range.
The DGD2003S8 features a fixed internal deadtime of 420ns, while
the DGD2005S8 has a maximum propagation time of 30ns when switching
between high-side and low-side.
The DGD2003S8, DGD2005S8 and DGD2012S8 are available in the SO-8
package and operate across an extended temperature range of -40°C
to +125°C.
