The IX4341 and IX4342 dual 5 ampere low-side MOSFET gate drivers are now available, mentioned Littelfuse. These gate drivers add the remaining two logic input versions to the current IX434x driver series, which is specifically made for driving MOSFETs. Customers now have a wide range of options with the IX434x series, which includes dual non-inverting, dual inverting, and non-inverting and inverting input versions.
The IX4341 and IX4342 drivers are perfect for high-frequency applications because of their brief rise and fall times of 7 nanoseconds and short propagation delay times of 16 nanoseconds.
Moreover, electronics designers can create a single 10 A driver by paralleling the two channels of the IX4340 and IX4341 devices, offering flexibility and scalability, for larger current requirements.
A Notable Feature of the IX434x Drivers is:
- Compatibility with TTL and CMOS logic inputs,
- Enabling direct interfacing with most controllers,
- In case of eventual insufficient supply voltage, the gate driver output is asserted low, turning the external power device off,
The IX4341 and IX4342 dual 5 A low-side gate drivers find applications in various markets, including:
- General industrial and electrical equipment
- Appliances
- Building solutions
- Data centers
- Energy storage and
- Renewable energy
These low-side MOSFET gate drivers are ideally suited for numerous industrial applications such as:
- Switch-mode power supplies
- DC-DC converters
- Motor controllers and
- Power converters
The IX434x devices provide users with a variety of solutions to meet their individual demands. They are available in normal 8-pin SOIC, thermally improved 8-pin SOIC, and 3×3?mm² MSOP packaging.
The dual 5-in-1 IX434x Applications for low-side gate drivers can be found in many different industries, such as energy storage, renewable energy, building solutions, appliances, general industrial and electrical equipment, and data centers.
Low-side MOSFET Gate Drivers offer clients industry-standard choices to satisfy their supply expectations by acting as a straight drop-in substitute for comparable available drivers.
