IXYS IX4352NE Gate Driver

Introducing IXYS’ IX4352NE, a gate driver designed specifically for driving SiC MOSFETs and high power IGBTs. The separate 9A source and sink outputs allow for tailored turn-on and turn-off timing while minimising switching losses. Improved dV/dt immunity and faster turn-off can be achieved with the internal negative charge regulator providing a user-selectable negative gate drive bias.

The device’s desaturation detection circuitry senses an overcurrent and initiates a soft turn-off, preventing a potentially damaging dV/dt event. The non-inverting logic input, IN, is TTL and CMOS compatible, internal level shifters provide the necessary bias to accommodate negative gate drive bias voltages. The devices additional protection features include: UVLO detection and thermal shutdown.

The IX4352NE is available in a thermally enhanced 16-pin narrow SOIC package.
