IX21844-EVAL IXYS

IX21844 Evaluation Board Users Guide INTEGRATED CIRCUITS DIVISION 1. Introduction IXYS Integrated Circuits Division s IX21844 evaluation board contains all the necessary circuitry to demonstrate the features of a high voltage gate driver configured as a half-bridge driver. IX21844 has dependent high-side and low-side referenced output channels, which are capable of sourcing 1.4A and sinking 1.8A peak current. The floating high-side channel can drive MOSFETs or IGBTs up to 600V from the common reference. The IX21844 features a user-programmable deadtime circuit that can be set with an external resistor. In addition, when a fault or an over-current condition is detected, the devices shutdown (SD) pin can be used to terminate gate drive to the high-side and low-side switches. 1.1 Features: Floating Channel for Bootstrap Operation up to 600V Programmable Deadtime Outputs Capable of Sourcing 1.4A Peak Current and Sinking 1.8A Peak Current Gate Drive Supply Range: 10V to 20V 3.3V Logic Compatibility Enables Seamless Interface with Micro-Controllers Independent Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO) Function for Both High-Side and Low-Side Outputs Schmitt-Trigger Inputs at IN and SD Provide Better Noise Immunity High dV/dt Capability: 50V/ns Negative Voltage Transient Protection: -5V IX21844-UG R01 www.ixysic.com 1IX21844 Evaluation Board Users Guide INTEGRATED CIRCUITS DIVISION Figure 1.
