Product overview

Infineon's Gate Drivers are driver ICs designed to accurately and safely control power devices such as MOS FETS, IGBTS, SiC, and GaN. They are used in a wide range of fields, including automotive, industrial equipment, renewable energy, and home appliances, and feature low power consumption, high insulation voltage, and flexible control functions. In particular, our AEC-Q100-certified automotive products are ideal for EV/HEV INVERTERS and DC-DC CONVERTERS.

List of main features and specifications

High insulation voltage: Maximum 5kVrms insulation performance ensures safety
Dual channel support: Ideal for half-bridge configurations
Dead time control: Cross conduction prevention

Fault output: Equipped with abnormality detection and protection functions

Product group

Non-Isolation
This configuration directly connects POWER SUPPLIES and control circuit, making it ideal for low-voltage, low-cost applications. It is small, has a fast response speed, and is widely used in low-noise environments such as industrial motors and home appliances.

Level-Shift (Level Shift Type)
This driver absorbs the voltage difference between the high and low sides, enabling drive in a half-bridge configuration. It is cost-effective and is widely used in INVERTERS and POWER SUPPLIES circuits.

Galvanic Isolation
Complete electrical isolation between the control circuit and power circuit. Ideal for automotive and industrial applications where high voltage environments and safety are required, this product uses light and TRANSFORMERS for isolated signal transmission.
