IRS4426STRPBF

The IRS4426STRPBF is a monolithic high-voltage, low-power, high-speed gate driver with integrated Schottky diodes that can be used in motor drives, high power switching applications, power plant controllers, and renewable energy systems. The device has built-in protection circuitry to protect against overcurrent conditions and EMI/RFI. It can be used in a variety of applications, including solar systems, wind turbines, and UPS uninterruptible power supplies. It is a part of PMIC Gate Drivers\' product family.

The IRS4426STRPBF works by providing a high side gate voltage and a low side gate current to drive the power device turn-on and turn-off operations. The device uses a unique switching function to provide both high and low side gate driver voltages, allowing for optimal device turn-on and turn-off times with minimum losses. Additionally, the internal fast overcurrent protection circuit ensures safe operation of the device in the event of an overload or short circuit condition.

The IRS4426STRPBF features two separate stage of drive output. The high side gate voltage is designed to drive high-current, high-voltage power stages. The low side gate current is designed to drive the logic stage of the power device, allowing for low-side current driven turn on/off. This dual stage architecture eliminates the need for external level shifting and provides a cost effective solution for gate drive applications requiring both high and low gate drive voltages.

The IRS4426STRPBF also includes a wide range of fault protection functions. The isothermal overcurrent protection circuitry reduces power losses caused by current overloads by limiting the maximum output current. The device also includes under-voltage lockouts and over-voltage protection for power supply voltages, and thermal shutdown protection for extreme temperature conditions. The device also includes integrated EMI/RFI protection which provides clean digital gate drive signals.

The IRS4426STRPBF is a feature-rich, high-performance gate driver designed for motor drives, high-power switching applications, power plant controllers, and renewable energy systems. It is a part of PMIC Gate Drivers\' product family, and it can be used to provide high-side gate voltage, low-side gate current, overcurrent protection, EMI/RFI protection, as well as a wide selection of fault protection features. With its high performance, rugged design, and cost-effectiveness, the IRS4426STRPBF is an ideal choice for any power application where high-end gate drive performance is required.
