Infineon Technologies EiceDRIVER™ X3 Enhanced and X3 Compact Gate Drivers

Infineon Technologies Expands EiceDRIVER™ X3 Enhanced and X3 Compact Gate Driver Families with Reinforced Isolation

Recently, Infineon Technologies AG has further expanded its easy-to-design EiceDRIVER™ X3 Compact (1ED31xx), highly flexible EiceDRIVER X3 Enhanced analog (1ED34xx) and digital (1ED38xx) gate driver series, respectively, and launched enhanced isolation products to improve application safety and extend service life. The new products have passed VDE 0884-11 certification. Both series with 8 mm wide body packages are suitable for applications with strict isolation requirements, such as industrial drives, solar systems, uninterruptible power supplies, electric vehicle charging and other industrial applications.

The widely used EiceDRIVER X3 Compact series has drive current specifications of 5.5, 10 and 14 A, and an optimized propagation delay of 90 ns. The series also includes the highly recommended Miller clamp for 0 V turn-off of SiC MOSFETs. These features make the 1ED31xx suitable for high-frequency switching applications, IGBT7 and power switches with rated voltages up to 2300 V.

The EiceDRIVER X3 Enhanced analog and digital series features accurate and adjustable DESAT, as well as additional configurable parameters based on I2C, which helps increase design flexibility and reduce hardware complexity and evaluation time. At the same time, built-in monitoring functions can support predictive protection.
