IX2R11M6T/R

The IX2R11M6T/R is a part of the PMIC–Gate Drivers series from IXYS, who specialize in semiconductor components, circuits, and application solutions.

Gate Drivers, or power management integrated circuits (PMICs) are a type of circuit designed to control, regulate, and protect various power sources. IXYS\'s Gate Driver series are designed to support high-speed and large current applications, allowing the rapid switching of large current loads. PMICs in general provide up to 6V of gate drive, with up to 2A of continuous current sourcing and sinking capabilities, while usually providing a 30V rating with a 420mA current limit.

The IX2R11M6T/R in particular is designed as a low-side gatedriver for use in industrial, automotive, and renewable energy applications. It features a wide operating voltage range of 10 - 20V, a continuous current rating of 5.5A, a peak current capability of up to 36A, a low on-resistance of 0.2Ohm, and an integrated fault protection circuit to ensure over-temperature and over-current protection to the MOSFETs in its application. This type of gate driver is a very power efficient design, due to its integrated features and can also provide a cost-effective solution to multiple power applications.

Working with the IX2R11M6T/R, the user can configure their application according to their desired level of flexibility and protection. It supports logic operating at 5 - 20V and can be provided with a single gate drive signal, with standard or frequency-dependent PWM signal, or with a frequency-dependent logic input.

The IX2R11M6T/R features a low start-up current of approximately 300mA and a maximum switching frequency of 20kHz. The device\'s direct connection to the gate allows the user to directly control the gate’s switching frequency, depending on the application. The device can be used in various applications, like solar or wind power, industrial applications, automotive or motor drive applications, and more.

In general, the IX2R11M6T/R is a powerful and efficient gate driver, designed to meet a wide variety of industrial and automotive applications. Its low start-up current and high switching frequency make it ideal for high-speed applications and its integrated fault protection circuit make it an excellent choice for those who require higher levels of protection and reliability.
