IXYS IXDE504PI

Description
The IXDD504 and IXDE504 are dual 4-Amp CMOS high-speed MOSFET gate drivers designed to drive IXYS MOSFETs and IGBTs. Each output can source and sink 4 Amps of peak current while producing voltage rise and fall times of less than 15ns. The input of each driver is TTL or CMOS compatible and is virtually immune to latch-up. Patented design innovations eliminate cross conduction and current "shoot-through." Improved speed and drive capabilities are further enhanced by fast, matched rise and fall times.
Additionally, each IXDD504 or IXDE504 driver incorporates a unique ability to disable the output under fault conditions. When a logical low is forced into the Enable input of a driver, both of its final output stage MOSFETs (NMOS and PMOS) are turned off. As a result, the respective output of the IXDD504 enters a tristate mode and, with additional circuitry, achieves a soft turn-off of the MOSFET/IGBT when a short circuit is detected. This helps prevent damage that could occur to the MOSFET/IGBT if it were to be switched off abruptly due to a dv/dt over-voltage transient.
