General Description
The IXDI514 and IXDN514 are high speed high current gate
drivers specifically designed to drive the largest IXYS
MOSFETs & IGBTs to their minimum switching time and
maximum parctical frequency limits. The IXDI514 and
IXDN514 can source and sink 14 Amps of Peak Current
while producing voltage rise and fall times of less than
30ns. The inputs of the Drivers are compatible with TTL or
CMOS and are virtually immune to latch up over the entire
operating range! Patented* design innovations eliminate
cross conduction and current "shoot-through". Improved
speed and drive capabilities are further enhanced by very
quick & matched rise and fall times.
The IXDI514 is configured as a Inverting Gate Driver, and the
IXDN514 is configured as a Non-Inverting Gate Driver.
The IXDI514 and IXDN514 are each available in the 8-Pin P-
DIP (PI) package, the 8-Pin SOIC (SIA) package, and the
6-Lead DFN (D1) package, (which occupies less than 65%
of the board area of the 8-Pin SOIC).
