IX3180GSTR

IX3180GSTR is a high-voltage, high-current gate driver module manufactured by IXYS. It bridges the gap between an array of half-bridge driver devices and high-voltage gate driver stages. The IX3180GSTR has been designed to be used in a wide variety of applications that require an easy-to-use, high-current gate driver. This versatile module is capable of providing the necessary drive currents for gate-oxide breakdown applications, motor drive and switching applications.

The IX3180GSTR is designed for use in three-phase trapezoidal BLDC motor drives and power switching applications, as well as gate oxide breakdown applications. The module allows designers to quickly and easily integrate a cost-effective, low-EMI gate drive into their system. It also eliminates the need for having to develop custom driver boards for applications.

The IX3180GSTR includes a half-bridge driver that includes an integrated gate driver stage based on IXYS’ highly-robust SG2309C3 integrated circuit. This device is capable of driving MOSFET or IGBT devices with a maximum switching current of 2A. The gate drive also features high-speed current sensing and current limiting protection. In addition, this device can also be used as a high-side driver or as a low-side driver.

The IX3180GSTR also includes a DC/DC boost converter, which is capable of delivering an output voltage of up to 45V. This device allows designers to use the module in a variety of applications, as it can provide the necessary isolation and power required by the gate drivers. The module is also designed to achieve high efficiency and low loss in operation.

The module also features a dual-frequency True Range comparator, which provides the ability to detect and differentiate between high and low-voltage blocks. This feature makes it possible to detect dynamic changes in the motor speed. This feature also allows designers to integrate the module into more advanced motor control algorithms and systems.

In addition, the IX3180GSTR features a pre-charge resistor network to reduce the inrush current on startup. This feature prevents the module from being over-sensitive to high voltage transients. The module also includes a PWM compatible output to control the output voltage in both CCM and DCM modes.

Overall, the IX3180GSTR is an easy-to-use, high-performance gate driver module that is suitable for a wide range of applications. It features an integrated half-bridge driver, DC/DC boost converter, dual-frequency True Range comparator, and pre-charge resistor network. The module also provides a PWM compatible output to control the output voltage in both CCM and DCM modes. It provides the necessary drive currents for gate-oxide breakdown applications, motor drive and switching applications.
