Diodes ZXGD3005E6 gate driver

The ZXGD3005E6 10 A gate driver from Diodes Incorporated has been designed to ensure ultra-fast switching of power MOSFET and IGBT loads in power supply, solar inverter and motor drive circuits.

With its emitter follower configuration delivering propagation delay times of less than 10 ns and rise and fall times of less than 20 ns, this non-inverting gate driver will reduce switching losses, simplify circuit design and improve overall system reliability.

Having separate source and sink outputs, the device enables independent control of the rise and fall times, allowing designers to achieve their preferred switching characteristics. The device’s wide supply voltage range of 25 allows full enhancement of target MOSFET or IGBT to minimise on-state losses and permits +15 to -5 V gate drive voltage to be applied to prevent false triggering of IGBTs.

Able to provide typically 4 A output current from only 1 mA input, this high-gain, high-speed gate driver acts as an interface between a controller IC and the load switch that does not require additional buffering.
