Description
The SIC1182K is a single channel gate driver in an eSOP-R16B package
for SiC MOSFETs. Reinforced galvanic isolation is provided by Power
Integrations’ revolutionary solid insulator FluxLink technology. Up to
±8 A peak output drive current enables the product to drive devices
with nominal currents of up to 600 A (typical).
Additional features such as undervoltage lock-out (UVLO) for
primary-side and secondary-side and rail-to-rail output with temperature
and process compensated output impedance guarantee safe
operation even in harsh conditions.
Furthermore, this gate driver IC comes along with a new feature, combining
short-circuit protection (at and during turn-on phase) as well as
overvoltage limitation by advanced active clamping (at turn-off phase)
through a single sensing pin. In case driven semiconductor provides
a current-sense terminal, an adjustable over-current detection can be
realized.
