Isolated Gate Drivers
Analog Devices small form factor isolated gate drivers are designed for the higher switching speeds and system size constraints required by power switch technologies such as SiC (silicon carbide) and GaN (gallium nitride), while still providing reliable control over switching characteristics for IGBT (insulated gate bipolar transistor) and MOSFET (metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor) configurations for high-side and low-side switches. These isolated gate drivers leverage ADI’s proven iCoupler isolation technology combined with high speed CMOS and monolithic transformer technology to enable ultralow propagation delay without sacrificing common-mode transient immunity (CMTI) performance. High pulse fidelity architecture enables motor power efficiency to meet new required efficiency levels, and superior timing performance stability reduces voltage distortion, as well as harmonic and output power content on solar inverters.
Product Selection Table
Safety and Regulatory Compliance Information
The iCoupler family of digital isolation products have been tested and approved by various regulatory agencies, including UL, CSA, VDE, TÜV, CQC, ATEX and IECEx. This table summarizes the achieved ratings for each product and includes links to copies of the actual safety certificates.
EMC Resources
Whether as a component or as part of a larger system level solution, EMC compliance must be met, and the best EMC design practices occur at the start of the design. Be prepared for the certification process and get ahead of the game with our selection of resources.
