Nexperia’s high performance half-bridge gate driver supports high efficiency and high robustness conversion

Half-bridge gate driver is commonly used in DC-to-DC power conversion and motor driver applications, in which engineers normally need to drive high side and low side power devices simultaneously or alternately. To achieve high efficiency and high robustness, high driving capability and fast dynamic behavior of driver is key to system design. Nexperia’s first half-bridge gate drivers start with +4/-5 A source/sink driving capability, integrates bootstrap diode and can be implemented up to 120 V input bus voltage. The excellent dynamic performance such as very low propagation delay and delay matching time supports high efficiency circuit design, and strong capability of negative voltage withstanding on all pins contributes to system robustness significantly.
