General Description

The IXDI509 and IXDN509 are high speed high current gate

drivers specifically designed to drive the largest IXYS

MOSFETs & IGBTs to their minimum switching time and

maximum practical frequency limits. The IXDI509 and

IXDN509 can source and sink 9 Amps of peak current while

producing voltage rise and fall times of less than 30ns. The

inputs of the drivers are compatible with TTL or CMOS and

are virtually immune to latch up over the entire operating

range. Patented* design innovations eliminate cross

conduction and current "shoot-through". Improved speed

and drive capabilities are further enhanced by matched rise

and fall times.

The IXDI509 is configured as a Inverting Gate Driver, and the

IXDN509 is configured as a Non-Inverting Gate Driver.

The IXDI509 and IXDN509 are each available in the 8-Pin P-

DIP (PI) package, the 8-Pin SOIC (SIA) package, and the

6-Lead DFN (D1) package, (which occupies less than 65%

of the board area of the 8-Pin SOIC).
