Expanded family of two-channel gate driver ICs for battery-powered applications

Infineon Technologies AG has expanded its MOTIX family of products for automotive and industrial motor control applications. To expand the advanced product family, the company introduces the two-channel MOTIX gate driver ICs 2ED2742S01G, 2ED2732S01G, 2ED2748S01G, and 2ED2738S01G. The 160V SOI gate drivers are small, powerful, cost-effective solutions with excellent latch-up immunity. They are designed for battery-powered applications, including cordless power tools, multicopters, drones, and light electric vehicles with batteries up to 120V.

The company's SOI technology eradicates the parasitic thyristor structure and delivers excellent robustness and immunity to negative transient voltages at the VS pin. The two-channel gate drivers have integrated monolithic bootstrap diodes that supply the external high-side bootstrap capacitor, lowering system-level BOM costs. The devices come in a compact 3mm x 3mm² VSON10 package and are offered in half-bridge (HB) and high-side + low-side (HS + LS) configurations and two different source/sink currents to drive n-channel MOSFETs in various applications.

The 2ED2732S01G and the 2ED2742S01G provide a source current of 1A and a sink current of 2A, while the 2ED2738S01G and the 2ED2748S01G deliver a source current of 4A and a sink current of 8A. All products feature independent UVLO on VCC and VB pins – the HB products also integrate STP. Also, the MOTIX 160V solutions are fully qualified for industrial applications according to the relevant JEDEC78/20/22 tests.
