Roll over image to zoom in

The GD3100 is an advanced single-channel gate driver for IGBTs/SiC. Integrated Galvanic isolation and low on-resistance drive transistors provide high charging and discharging current, low dynamic saturation voltage and rail-to-rail gate voltage control.

Current and temperature sense minimizes IGBT/SiC stress during faults
Accurate and configurable under voltage lockout provides protection while ensuring sufficient gate drive voltage headroom
Autonomously manages severe faults and reports faults and status via INTB pin and an SPI interface. It is capable of directly driving gates of many IGBTs/SiC
Self-test, control and protection functions are included for the design of high-reliability systems
