General Description
The IXDI414/IXDN414 is a high speed high current gate driver specifically designed to drive the largest MOSFETs and IGBTs to their minimum switching time and maximum practical frequency limits. The IXDI/N414 can source and sink 14A of peak current while producing voltage rise and fall times of less than 30ns to drive the latest IXYS MOSFETs & IGBTs. The input of the driver is compatible with TTL or CMOS and is fully immune to latch up over the entire operating range. Designed with small internal delays, a patent-pending circuit virtually eliminates transistor cross conduction and current shootthrough. Improved speed and drive capabilities are further enhanced by very low, matched rise and fall times.
