The FAN7382, a monolithic half-bridge gate driver IC, can drive MOSFETs and IGBTs that operate up to +600V. Fairchild's high-voltage process and commonmode noise canceling technique provides stable operation of the high-side driver under high dv/dt noise circumstances. An advanced level shift circuit allows high-side gate driver operation up to VS=-9.8 V(typ.) for VBS=15V. The input logic level is compatible with standard TTLseries logic gates. UVLO circuits for both channels prevent malfunction when VCC and VBS are lower than the specified threshold voltage. Output drivers typically source/sink 350mA/650mA, respectively, which is suitable for fluorescent lamp ballasts, PDP scan drivers, motor controls, etc. |
