High side gate driver application note.

The l6390 is a versatile high voltage gate driver ic which is particularly suited for field oriented control foc motor driving applications. Ir2128 are both high side drivers ir2127 active high input ir2128 active low input with a lower output drive 200ma source 420ma sink and a more basic current sensing scheme. It simplifies the design of control systems for a wide range of motor applications such as home appliances industrial drives dc motors and fans. N channel mosfets may seem less attractive because they require a gate voltage higher than the power supply voltage to become fully enhanced in high side switching applications.

Using a single output gate driver for high side or low side drive. N high current gate driver using separate isolation ic and gate driver ic this driver design can provide high driving. The main purpose of this application report is to demonstrate a systematic approach to design high performance gate drive circuits for high speed switching applications. Gate drive requirements of high side devices the gate drive requirements for a power mosfet or igbt utilized as a high side switch the drain is connected to the high voltage rail as shown in figure 1 driven in full enhancement i e lowest voltage drop across its terminals can be summarized as follows.

It simplifies the design of control systems for a wide range of motor applications such as home appliances industrial drives dc motors and fans. A gate ir2104 driver is a power amplifier that accepts a low power input from a controller ic and produces a high current drive input for the gate of a high power transistor such as a power mosfet. This app note discusses how single output drivers can enable greater layout flexibility and fewer parasitics leading to optimal switching performance. It is an informative collection of topics offering a one stop shopping to solve the most common design challenges.

Gate drive evaluation platform. This limitation is eliminated by high side mosfet drivers such as the ltc1155 which have built in charge pumps to fully enhance n channel switches. Developed using bcd offline technology the device can operate with voltage rails up to 600 v.
