What is a Photovoltaic Gate Driver?
Photovoltaic gate driver is a type of gate driver that is used to provide galvanic isolation between the low voltage control circuits and high voltage circuits.
Key features of Photovoltaic Gate Driver:
- Safety of end-user
- Protecting LV circuits from HV Circuits
- Filtering of common-mode noise
- Breaking ground loops ( helpful to eliminate Ground Loop Noise)
- Level-Shift between Power Domains
- Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO) with soft-shutdown
- Overload protection
- Output short circuit protection
- High noise immunity
- High input-to-output insulation voltage
- Wide operating voltage range
Photovoltaic Gate Drivers are ideal for use in automotive DC-DC converter, in-wheel motors, HVAC, IGBT/SiC MOSFET gate driver for traction inverter, automotive isolated IGBT/MOSFET gate drive, hybrid and plug-in power train inverter, AC and brushless DC motor drives, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), oil pump motor drives in HEV and EV applications, battery insulation resistance measurement/leakage detection, battery management system, solid-state relay module, induction stovetop, industrial inverters, switch-mode power supplies, and plasma display panel.
