IXDD409CI

Lightning-fast switching performance, low losses and low electromagnetic interference (EMI) are necessary characteristics of modern power control applications. To meet such requirements, IXYS Corporation produces IXDD409CI Gate Drivers – advanced power control solutions for devices such as voltage regulators, motor controls, digital protection controllers and various other DC/DC or AC/DC converters.

IXDD409CI Gate Drivers are designed to drive high and low side power MOSFETs used in DC-DC converters, brushless motor controllers, DC-AC inverters, rectifiers and other power control applications. These devices feature a regulated 26V typical supply voltage to provide extra drive capabilities to power MOSFETs and IGBTs. IXDD409CI Gate Drivers feature a full AC operating voltage of up to 0.15V and switching times of up to 1 microsecond, which make them ideal for modern power control applications that require quick response times.

The IXDD409CI comes with a built-in HVIC for strong gate drive and low EMI. It includes two on-chip drivers for both high side and low side power MOSFETs, an isolator output for separate power supply from input voltage, and a logic input for simple triggering. The logic input can be set up for either active high or active low compatible with most common logic families. Furthermore, the device includes a wide range of protection features such as short circuit protection, short circuit flagging, thermal warning and thermal shutdown.

Integrating the IXDD409CI into a power control device or system is simple. The device can be connected directly to the power MOSFETs and uses a 0V to 5V logic control voltage. The logic input voltage is compatible with all common logic families, and is configurable for either active-high or active-low. It is also compatible with the standard PWM control signals used in many power control circuits.

As a result, IXDD409CI Gate Drivers provide an ideal power control solution for applications such as voltage regulators, motor controls, digital protection controllers, and many other DC/DC or AC/DC converters. By providing lightning-fast switching, low losses, and low EMI, these devices enable designers to create reliable, high performance power control applications.
