This low-side gate driver is designed primarily for SiC MOSFETs and can deliver high gate-drive voltage to reduce conduction losses. It provides 6 A source and 6 A sink output capability, a selectable negative gate-bias rail of 0 V, -3.4 V, -5 V, or -8 V from its integrated charge pump, and a 5 V bias rail suitable for digital isolators. Protection features include adjustable undervoltage lockout, desaturation detection, and thermal shutdown. The device operates from a 10 V to 22 V positive supply over a -40 °C to 125 °C ambient range and supports switching frequencies up to 500 kHz.
