Introduction to low side drivers

We offer single-low-side and dual-low-side gate driver ICs with flexible options for output current, logic configurations, packages, and protection features such as under-voltage lockout (UVLO), integrated overcurrent protection (OCP), and truly differential inputs (TDI).

Low side gate driver IC with integrated overcurrent protection

The 1ED44176N01F, 1ED44175N01B, and 1ED44173N01B are equipped with over-current protection (OCP) which is typically implemented by a current measurement with a comparator and multiple resistors and capacitors. The gate drivers provide cost and space savings by integrating the comparator. This family of low-side gate drivers utilize our proprietary latch immune CMOS technologies to enable a rugged monolithic construction while realizing best-in-class fault reporting accuracy with OCP threshold tolerance of +/-5%. In addition, our IC technology enables a tiny PG-SOT23 package (or DSO-8 for 1ED44176) by combining the fault output and enable functions into a single pin.

Gate drivers with Truly Differential Inputs: 1EDN TDI

The input signal levels of conventional non-isolated gate-driver ICs are referenced to the ground potential of the gate-driver IC. If in the application the ground potential of the gate-driver IC shifts excessively, false triggering of the gate-driver IC can occur. Overcome ground-shift challenges in your design with Infineon’s single-channel non-isolated EiceDRIVER™ gate-driver ICs, which have truly differential inputs.
