IXYS Launch New IXRFDSM607X2 Surface Mount RF Dual Driver IC
Published on: 21/12/2017
IXYS release new surface mount RF dual driver IC
IXYS RF (a division of IXYS Colorado) has recently launched IXRFDSM607X2, a dual CMOS high-speed, high-current gate driver specifically designed to drive MOSFETs in Class D and E HF RF applications as well as other applications requiring ultrafast rise and fall times or short minimum pulse widths.
The IXRFDSM607X2 can source and sink 7A of peak current per driver, 15A when combined, while producing voltage rise and fall times less than 5ns and minimum pulse widths of 8ns.
The inputs of the driver are compatible with TTL or CMOS and are fully immune to latch up over the entire operating range. Designed with small internal delays, cross conduction or current shoot-through is virtually eliminated. The features and wide safety margin in operating voltage and power make IXYS’ IXRFDSM607X2 unrivalled in performance and value.
