Vehicle driver IC

International Rectifier has introduced the AUIRS2016S for motor vehicle gate drive applications, including common injection rails, diesel and petrol direct injection applications and solenoid drivers.

It is a high-voltage power MOSFET high-side driver featuring an internal Vs-to-GND recharge NMOS. Its output driver features a 250 mA high-pulse current buffer stage. The channel can be used to drive an N-channel power MOSFET in the high-side configuration, operating at up to 150 V above ground. It provides negative voltage spike immunity (-Vs) to protect against catastrophic events during high-current switching and short-circuits.

It also offers 5 V compatible logic level inputs, one high-side output and internal low-side Vs recharge, CMOS Schmitt trigger inverted input with pull up resistor and CMOS Schmitt trigger inverted reset with pull down resistor.
