Infineon Technologies EiceDRIVER™ F3 enhanced

The EiceDRIVER™ F3 Enhanced (1ED332x) family is an isolated gate driver family including protection features, such as short-circuit protection (DESAT), soft-off and active Miller Clamp. The gate driver family provides typical peak output currents of up to 8.5 A. Its short-circuit protection is suitable for both IGBTs and SiC MOSFETs. The active Miller Clamp feature makes it ideal for fast-switching applications with SiC MOSFETs and TRENCHSTOP™ IGBT 7 to avoid parasitic turn-on. The appealing protection feature-set increases system safety in many applications.

Key features

• For up to 2300 V IGBTs, SiC and Si MOSFETs
• +6 A / -8.5 A typical sinking and sourcing peak output current
• Precise VCE_sat detection (DESAT) with fault output
• Soft turn-off after desaturation detection

Additional features

• Active Miller Clamp
• 40 V absolute maximum output supply voltage
• 85 ns propagation delay with 35 ns input filter

• DSO-16 300 mil wide-body package with large creepage distance (>8 mm)
• Undervoltage lockout (UVLO) protection with hysteresis (for IGBTs and SiC)
• Tight part-to-part propagation delay matching (15 ns. max.) allows minimum deadtime improving system efficiency and decreasing harmonic distortion
• UL 1577 VISO = 6.8 kV (rms) for 1 s, 5.7 kV (rms) for 1 min
• IEC 60747-17/VDE 0884-11 with VIORM = 1767 V (peak, reinforced)
• The precise threshold and timings, combined with UL 1577 certification enable superior application safety
• High isolation capability, can be used in 1500 V DC solar inverter application
