Automotive gate driver ICs aim at hybrid and electric vehicle applications
Part of a family of automotive high voltage ICs (HVIC) gate drivers, the FAN7171 and FAN7190 are ideal for electric and hybrid electric DC-DC power supplies and power inverters, diesel and gasoline injectors and valves as well as MOSFET and IGBT high-side driver applications.
The FAN7171 and FAN7190 HVIC devices deliver an integrated inverter solution with higher efficiency, more drive current and more robustness in harsh automotive applications.
The FAN7171 is a monolithic high-side gate driver IC that can drive high speed MOSFETs and IGBTs that operate up to +500V, while the FAN7190 can drive MOSFETS and IGBTs that operate up to +600V. Greater drive capability enables higher power systems with an increase in power efficiency.
Both devices have a buffered output stage with all NMOS transistors designed for high pulse current driving capability and minimum cross-conduction. Better noise immunity, with a negative voltage swing (VS) down to -9.8V at 15V VBS, allows for improved design reliability and increased durability in challenging noise environments.
Qualified to AEC Q100 Automotive Class 1 standards, the FAN7171 and FAN7190 are highly integrated devices that provide increased functionality, resulting in reduced component count and reduced bill of material costs, reduced board space and potentially faster design cycles.
Fairchild’s high voltage process and common-mode noise cancelling techniques provide stable operation of the high-side driver under dv/dt noise circumstances. An advanced level shift circuit offers high-side gate driver operation down to VS = -9.8V (typical) for VBS = 15V. An Under Voltage Lockout (UVLO) circuit prevents malfunction when VBS is lower than the specified threshold voltage.
Both devices are packaged in an 8-lead small outline package (SOP) and are RoHS-compliant.
