EiceDRIVER 2EDN Family: Next-generation Robust Dual-Channel Low-Side 4A/5A Gate Driver ICs for MOSFETs

Infineon Technologies AG has released a new EiceDRIVER 2EDN product family that complements the existing 2EDN driver ICs by providing higher system-level efficiencies, excellent power density, and consistent system robustness with fewer external components. This new family is suitable for applications such as servers, telecom, DC-DC converters, industrial SMPS, EV charging stations, motor control, low-speed light electric vehicles, power tools, LED lighting, and solar energy systems.

The new EiceDRIVER 2EDN family comprises robust dual-channel low-side 4 A/5 A gate driver ICs and is targeting not only fast power MOSFETs but also wide bandgap (WBG) switching devices. These gate drivers enable engineers to meet their design requirements in many different package sizes, ensure safe turn-off before under-voltage lock-out (UVLO), and achieve faster UVLO reaction for robust operation and noise immunity.

Features

• The highly efficient SMPS enabled by 5ns short slew rates and 10ns propagation delay precision suitable for fast MOSFET and GaN switching

• Numerous deployment options due to two 5A channels are possible

• 1ns channel-to-channel accuracy enables the use of two channels in parallel

• The 2EDN family comes with industry-standard packages and pinout ease system design upgrades

Applications

• Servers

• Telecom

• DC-DC converters

• Industrial SMPS

• EV charging stations

• Motor control

• Low-speed light electric vehicles

• Power tools

• LED lighting

• Solar energy systems

Availability

EiceDRIVER 2EDN next-generation gate driver ICs (2EDNxx3xx) come in five different package options: 8-pin DSO, TSSOP, WSON, and 6-pin SOT23 and TSNP. Samples are now available with the TSNP package coming soon in Q2 2022.
