Power Integrations Launches New 5A Peak Current Gate Driver to Reduce System Complexity and Cost
News
SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 28, 2017 – Power Integrations (Nasdaq: POWI), a leader in IGBT and MOSFET driver technology for medium- and high-voltage inverter applications, today introduced the SID1102K, the latest member of the SCALE-iDriver™ IC family – a single-channel, isolated IGBT and MOSFET gate driver in a wide-body eSOP package. The new device has a 5 A peak drive current and can drive 300 A switches without a driver stage; an external driver stage can be used to cost-effectively increase the gate current to 60 A peak. The device provides N-channel drive for both the bottom and top driver MOSFET switches, reducing system cost, switching losses and output power.
Reinforced insulation is provided by PowerIntegrations' innovative solid-insulation FluxLink™ technology, eliminating the need for an optocoupler, further enhancing reliability and stability. SCALE-iDriver technology reduces BOM material count, simplifying design and manufacturing; a complete driver can be designed using a single SID1102KIC and only eight external components. The device provides system-level protection features, including undervoltage protection, rail-to-rail regulated output voltage (single power supply), high common-mode transient immunity, and 9.4 mm creepage and clearance.
Michael Hornkamp, senior marketing director for gate driver products at PowerIntegrations, said:
Key applications include UPS, standard AC drives and variable frequency drives (VFD), photovoltaic/solar systems, commercial air conditioners, DC chargers, and welding equipment. The device is available now in 10,000-unit quantities.
