Skyworks Solutions Inc. Si82Dx Isolated Gate Drivers
Skyworks Solutions Inc. Si82Dx Isolated Gate Drivers combines two isolated gate drivers into a single package, offering a feature-rich and easy-to-use solution for various power applications. The Si82Dx includes devices with single or dual control inputs with independent or high-side/low-side outputs. These drivers can operate with a 3V to 20V input supply and a maximum gate driver supply voltage of 30V. The inputs are CMOS, which provides a robust noise margin.
The Si82Dx is ideal for driving power silicon MOSFETs and IGBTs used in various switched power and motor control applications. These drivers utilize Skyworks' proprietary silicon isolation technology, supporting up to 6kVRMS for 1-minute isolation voltage. This technology enables high CMTI (200kV/µs), lower propagation delays and skew, slight variation with temperature and age, and tight part-to-part matching. The Si82DXx family offers longer service life and higher reliability than optocoupled gate drivers.
The output stage is a voltage source with robust current output across operating conditions. The output stage features voltage mode drive technology using a familiar current-limiting resistor, allowing power designers to optimize switching speed, emissions control, and overshoot limitation. The driver family also offers Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)), dead time programmability, and defined output states in all operating conditions.
The Skyworks Solutions Inc. Si82Dx is available in an automotive grade. The gate drivers are built using automotive-specific flows at all manufacturing steps to confirm the robustness and low defectivity needed for automotive applications.
