International Rectifier IR3230SPbF gate drive IC simplifies eBike design

International Rectifier has introduced the IR3230SPbF three-phase gate drive IC for e-bike inverters, providing efficient electric mobility.

The IR3230SPbF is a highly integrated, three-phase gate drive IC. The device offers input range up to 60 V, enabling operation from 48 V battery systems, regeneration mode to recharge the battery and the integration of many protection features to reduce component count and improve system reliability.

The device integrates the sensor interface and 120°/60° selection capability, which eliminates the need for a programmable logic array and simplifies the control scheme. An integrated charge pump enables the removal of three electrolytic capacitors required in a typical system.

The IR3230SPbF is available in an SOIC28 package featuring an environmentally friendly, lead-free and RoHS-compliant bill of materials.
