IXYS Introduces New High Performance Gate Driver ICs For Power Control
27 Avril 2006 - 2:30PM
Business Wire
IXYS Corporation (NASDAQ:SYXI), announces the expansion of its
power management ICs with the introduction of its new "50X" family
of high performance Gate Driver Integrated Circuits. With current
ratings from 2A (IXDx502) to 14A (IXDx514), this new family of
drivers substantially improves the cost effectiveness, circuit
density and ruggedness of gate drivers needed by power electronic
circuits to switch Power MOSFETs and IGBTs. The value of this
family is further enhanced by the addition of a new high density
package option covering the full range of drive currents, the
6-Lead DFN which occupies less than 65% of the board area of a
typical 8-Pin SOIC. IXYS has a long history of producing rugged
power MOSFETs and IGBTs, which has been extended to its driver ICs.
Power supplies and motor control circuits demand highly reliable
and robust driver ICs to withstand the voltage and current spikes
that often occur in power systems. By using proprietary process and
design innovation, these driver ICs achieve a high resistance to
latchup with a high degree of noise immunity. Other electrical
advantages shared with IXYS Gate Drive products include drive stage
design features that eliminate internal cross conduction, an
extended operating voltage range of up to 35V and an operating
temperature range of -55 degrees C to +125 degrees C. IXYS
continues to provide a broad range of versatility in its product
line in this new 50X Low Side Driver family. This family is offered
with a full range of logic level control and package options.
Versions incorporating an Enable function for fast output shutdown
are also offered. Package options include 8-Pin DIP, 8-Pin SOIC and
the high density 6-Lead DFN. The introduced drivers include the
IXDD502D1, a 2A dual output gate driver in the 6-Lead DFN, or the
IXDD514D1, a powerful 14A single output gate driver in the same
6-Lead DFN. Each gate driver exhibits output rise and falls times
under 25 nanoseconds with matched output rise times. Various
applications stand to benefit from this new family of Low Side
Drivers. Examples include consumer electronics such as LCD TVs and
audio amplifiers, industrial applications such as welding and motor
drives and other power conversion applications such as solar
inverters, uninterruptible power supplies and switch-mode power
supplies. Additionally, these drivers can be used to directly drive
relays, solenoids and other actuators. More information on these
ICs can be found on the website www.ixys.com. Any statements
