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 shoot-

through. Improved speed and drive capabilities are further

enhanced by very low, matched rise and fall times.

The IXDN414 is configured as a non-inverting gate driver and

the IXDI414 is an inverting gate driver.

The IXDN414/IXDI414 family are available in standard 8 pin

P-DIP (PI), 5-pin TO-220 (CI, CM) and TO-263 (YI, YM)

surface-mount packages.
