BEVERLY, USA & BIEL, SWITZERLAND: IXYS Corp. and Clare Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of IXYS, announced the immediate availability of the IXD_630 low-side gate driver family.
The IXD_630 output can source and sink a peak of 30A, making it the highest current rated gate driver in the IC industry and in Clare’s extensive IXD_600 gate driver portfolio. The very high current capability of the IXD_630 IC family makes them well suited to drive the largest IXYS power MOSFETs and IGBTs.
The IXD_630 can operate with supply voltages up to 35V, and is specified over the minus 40 degrees Centigrade to plus 125 degrees Centigrade automotive temperature range. Typical rise and fall times are only 11ns with a 5.6nF load. The IXD_630 features an under-voltage lockout (UVLO) circuit that holds the output LOW until sufficient supply voltage is applied.
The IXD_630 UVLO threshold of 12.5V is suitable for IGBT applications, while the IXD_630M UVLO threshold of 9V is intended for MOSFET applications. Internal circuitry prevents cross conduction and current “shoot-through,” and the driver is virtually immune to latch-up. The IXD_630 replaces discrete gate driver circuits with cost and PCB savings. End applications include high-power DC-DC converters, motor drives, and 3-phase inverters.
The IXD_630 is available as a non-inverting driver with an output enable (IXDD630 and IXDD630M), an inverting driver (IXDI630 and IXDI630M), and a non-inverting driver (IXDN630 and IXDN630M). The IXD_630 is available in a 5-lead TO-220 package and a 5-lead TO-263 package.
