MOSFET and IGBT gate driver for power electronics uses in industrial applications introduced by Littlefuse

CHICAGO – Littelfuse Inc. in Chicago is introducing the IX4352NE Low-side SiC MOSFET and IGBT gate driver for on-board and off-board chargers; power factor correction (PFC); DC/DC converters; motor controllers and; industrial power inverters.

This gate driver is designed to drive silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs and high-power insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) in industrial applications.

The IX4352NE offers separate 9-amp source and sink outputs, which enable tailored turn-on and turn-off timing while minimizing switching losses.

An internal negative charge regulator also provides a user-selectable negative gate drive bias for improved dV/dt immunity and fast turn-off, with an operating voltage range of as much as 35 volts.

This power electronics device offers an internal negative charge pump regulator, which eliminates the need for an external auxiliary power supply or DC/DC converter.

This feature turns off SiC MOSFETs, and its logic input's compatibility with standard TTL or CMOS logic levels further enhances space-saving capabilities.
