EiceDRIVER™ 2EDN Gate Driver for MOSFETs
EiceDRIVER™ 2EDN - rugged, cool and fast 2-channel low-side 4A/5A driver ICs
2-channel MOSFET EiceDRIVER™ driver ICs are the crucial link between control ICs and powerful MOSFET and GaN switching devices. MOSFET driver ICs enable high system level efficiencies, excellent power density and consistent system robustness. With high power efficiency, higher MOSFET drive capability and cooler driver IC operation the 2EDN products help cut down bill-of-material and time to market in applications such as server, telecom, industrial SMPS, motor control and solar.
2EDN family: fast, precise, strong and compatible
- The highly efficient SMPS enabled by 5ns short slew rates and 10ns propagation delay precision suitable for fast MOSFET and GaN switching
- Numerous deployment options due to two 5A channels are possible
- 1ns channel-to-channel accuracy enable the use of two channels in parallel
- The 2EDN family comes with industry standard packages and pinout ease system design upgrades
- 4 V and 8 V UVLO (Under Voltage Lock Out) options for instant MOSFET protection under abnormal conditions
- -10 V robustness of control and enable inputs provides crucial safety margin when driving pulse transformers or driving MOSFETs in TO-220 and TO-247 packages
- 5 A reverse output current robustness eliminates the need for Schottky switching diodes and reduces bill-of-material
- Cool driver ICs from true rail-to-rail low impedance output stage
- Fast active output clamping of 20 ns (typ.) and fast UVLO start-up time of 2 µs (typ.) ensure robust and safe system operation
