STGAP2GSNCTR

STGAP2GSNCTR is an isolated 3A single gate driver for enhancement mode GaN FETs. It provides isolation between the gate driving channel and the low voltage control and interface circuitry. The gate driver is characterized by 2A source and 3A sink capability and rail-to-rail outputs, making the device also suitable for mid and high power applications such as power conversion and motor driver inverters in industrial applications. The device allows to independently optimize turn-on and turn-off by using dedicated gate resistors. The device integrates protection functions including thermal shutdown and UVLO with an optimized level for enhancement-mode GaN FETs, which enables easy design high efficiency and reliable systems. Typical applications are motor driver for home appliances, factory automation, industrial drives and fans, 600/1200V inverters, wireless chargers, UPS, power supply units, DC-DC converters, and power factor corrections.
