Infineon Technologies High Voltage Gate Driver ICs
Infineon High Voltage Gate Driver ICs are a simple, compact solution for driving MOSFETs or IGBTs up to 1200V in applications up to 12kW. These Infineon 600V and 1200V High Voltage Gate Driver ICs can save up to 30% in part count in a 50% smaller PCB area compared to a discrete optocoupler or transformer-based solutions. These Infineon devices provide full driver capability with extremely fast switching speeds, designed-in ruggedness, and low-power dissipation. These High Voltage Gate Driver ICs generate the current and voltage necessary to turn MOSFETs or IGBTs on and off from the logic output of a DSP, microcontroller, or other logic device. These Infineon devices feature output currents up to 2A and are CMOS compatible. Most of the devices are also TTL compatible.
The Infineon HV Gate Driver IC line includes IRS2334 Series High Voltage Gate Driver ICs. IRS2334 devices are high voltage, high speed power MOSFET and IGBT drivers with three independent high side and low side referenced output channels for 3-phase applications.
