High-Side and Low-Side & Half-Bridge Gate Driver ICs
High-Side and Low-Side & Half-Bridge drivers control two N-Channel MOSFETs or IGBTs in fast switching applications. The gate driver converts PWM input signals into gate signals compatible with MOSFETs or IGBTs, providing a robust and efficient power semiconductor control. An integrated bootstrap circuit generates a floating voltage that enables the high-side driver to operate up to 600VDC.

Both the High-Side and Low-Side & Half-Bridge Gate drivers accept a wide supply voltage range from 10V to 20V, as well as wide logic input voltage ranges 3.3V to 20V. The devices feature an array of built-in protection features including Under Voltage Lockout (UVLO), Shoot-Through Protection and outputs which are tolerant to negative transients ensuring the safe operation of the driver and the driven power semiconductors.
The devices are available in 8-Pin, 14-Pin and 16-Pin* SOIC industry standard packages and pin-outs, with peak drive currents (sink) from 600mA to 2.3A or 600mA to 4.5A* and extended operating temperature ranges from -40°C to +125°C throughout ensuring reliability in the harshest of environments.
* High-side and Low-side Gate drivers only.
3-Phase Half-Bridge Gate Driver ICs
Switching three pairs of N-Channel MOSFETs or IGBTs in 6-pack configurations is a challenge in fast switching applications. Moreover 3-Phase Half Bridge gate drivers convert PWM input signals into gate-signals compatible with MOSFETs or IGBTs, providing a robust and efficient power semiconductor control. Integrated bootstrap circuits generate floating voltages that enable enables the three high-side drivers to operate up to 600VDC.
