MDC901 High Performance, 200 V Gate Driver IC
The MDC901 is a non-isolated high-side and low-side gate driver with floating regulators and integrated level shifting, specifically developed to reliably drive enhanced mode GaN devices.
Key Features
- Unprecedented gate drive strength up to 9A
- Separate pull-up and pull-down outputs for gate drive tuning
- Programmable true floating regulators (5 or 6V), protecting the sensitive GaN gate against overcharging.
- Integrated charge pump for 100% duty cycle applications
- High efficiency integrated bootstrap diodes
- Automatic closed-loop and programmable dead-time
- Integrated 5V regulator enables single supply voltage operation
- 200V operation, supporting negative source-voltage transients down to -4V
Benefits
- Slew rate capability in excess of 100V/ns
- Fast design-in thanks to EVB layout examples
- Diagnostics:
- Gate signal monitoring outputs
- Die temperature monitoring
- Undervoltage lockout outputs for HS and LS
- Highly compacted solution compared to other solution with the same functionality
- Separate turn-on/off programmable feed-forward dead-time
- All-in one solution : integrated 5V linear regulators for I/O
- Propagation delay : 30ns, with 1ns delay matching between HS and LS
- Tunable dead-time for optimal switching match
Applications
- Highly-efficient server PoL converters
- High voltage pulsers for MEMS (ultrasound transducers, MEMS switches)
- DC-DC converters
- AC-DC converters
- Class-D audio amplifiers
Use Cases
- Data & server centers
- High quality speaker systems
- High precision motor drives
MDC901 Evaluation Board
We have developed a high-quality EVB - to give all power designers a head start when designing in the MDC901 GaN gate driver. Get in touch if you are interested in purchasing the EVB or if you want to get access to the PCB database.
