General Description
The IXDD504 and IXDE504 each consist of two 4-Amp
CMOS high speed MOSFET gate drivers for driving the
latest IXYS MOSFETs & IGBTs. Each of the dual outputs
can source and sink 4 Amps of peak current while produc-
ing voltage rise and fall times of less than 15ns. The input
of each driver is TTL or CMOS compatible and is virtually
immune to latch up. Patented* design innovations eliminate
cross conduction and current "shoot-through". Improved
speed and drive capabilities are further enhanced by fast,
matched rise and fall times.
Additionally, each IXDD504 or IXDE504 driver incorporates a
unique ability to disable the output under fault conditions.
When a logical low is forced into the Enable input of a
driver, both of it's final output stage MOSFETs (NMOS and
PMOS) are turned off. As a result, the respective output of
the IXDD504 enters a tristate mode and, with additional
cicuitry, achieves a soft turn-off of the MOSFET/IGBT when
a short circuit is detected. This helps prevent damage that
could occur to the MOSFET/IGBT if it were to be switched
off abruptly due to a dv/dt over-voltage transient.
The IXDD504 and IXDE504 are each available in the 8-Pin
P-DIP (PI) package, the 8-Pin SOIC (SIA) package, and the
8-Lead DFN (D2) package, (which occupies less than 65%
of the board area of the 8-Pin SOIC).
