The 1ED3011MC12I from Infineon Technologies is a Single-Channel Isolated Gate Driver IC with an opto-emulator input that has been designed to drive IGBTs, Si MOSFETs, and SiC MOSFETs. It requires an input voltage 9.6-32 V and provides an output current of up to 6.5 A (peak). This driver is suitable for operation at high ambient temperatures and in fast-switching applications. It has a design based on coreless transformer technology that enables accurate data transfer across the isolation barrier. This gate driver consists of a coreless transformer, filters, MOSFETs, and protection circuits. It has a propagation delay of 40 ns with a part-to-part matching time of 10 ns.
This gate driver IC provides an isolation withstand voltage of up to 5.7 kV (RMS) for 1 minute as per the UL1577 flame retardant standard and offers very high common-mode transient immunity of over 300 kV/µs. This driver includes under-voltage lockout, short circuit clamping, over-temperature protection, and active shutdown circuitry to ensure high reliability during operation. It is available in a surface-mount package that measures 4.9 x 1.75 mm and is ideal for EV charging, energy storage systems, solar inverters, UPS systems, high voltage DC-DC converter, DC-AC inverter, commercial air-conditioning (CAC) and telecom SMPS applications.
