Highlights

EiceDRIVER™ Compact gate drivers provide driving capabilities of up to 14 A making booster solutions obsolete. They are ideal for applications using traditional switches, such as  IGBTs or  MOSFETs, but also for leading-edge technologies such as Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFET or IGBT7.

In particular the Miller Clamp option enables superior application safety by avoiding parasitic turn-on especially when driving CoolSiC™ SiC MOSFET and TRENCHSTOP™ IGBT7.

The most versatile and simplistic EiceDRIVER™ Compact galvanically isolated drivers are based on our coreless transformer (CT) technology, enabling a world class common mode transient immunity (CMTI) of 200 kV/μs. They are ideal for applications such as solar string inverters, EV charging, UPS, industrial drives, CAC, welding equipment, induction heating appliances, and power supplies for servers and telecommunication systems.

The tight propagation delay matching of our new X3 Compact family (1ED31xx) (7 ns max.), results in shorter deadtime and better accuracy for fast switching applications. All products offer

  • Active shutdown to ensure a safe IGBT off-state in case the output chip is not connected to the power.
  • Short-circuit clamping to limit the gate voltage during short circuit.

The drivers can operate over a wide supply voltage range, either unipolar or bipolar.

The two-level slew-rate control function in the new 2L-SRC Compact family (1ED32xx) helps to optimize system efficiency and electromagnetic interference.
