1EDF5673K - GaN gate driver

General Description

CoolGaN™ and similar GaN switches require a continuous gate current of a few mA in their "on" state.

Besides, due to low threshold voltage and extremely fast switching transients, a negative "off" voltage level may be needed.

Overview

GaN EiceDRIVER™ product family Single-channel functional and reinforced isolated gate-drive ICs for high-voltage enhancement-mode GaN.

Key Features

  • Dedicated gate driver ICs for high-voltage GaN power switches (CoolGaN™, GIT technology based products).
  • low driving impedance (on-resistance 0.85 Ω source, 0.35 Ω sink).
  • resistor programmable gate current (typ. 10 mA) in steady “on” state.
  • programmable negative gate voltage to completely avoid spurious turn-on.
  • Single output supply voltage (typ. 8 V, floating).
  • Switching behavior independent of duty-cycle (2 "off" voltage levels).
