Infineon Technologies AG has announced the expansion of its MOTIX™ product line for automotive and industrial motor control applications.
The company has introduced the 2-channel MOTIX gate driver ICs 2ED2742S01G, 2ED2732S01G, 2ED2748S01G, and 2ED2738S01G. These 160 V Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) gate drivers are compact, powerful, and cost-effective solutions with excellent latch-up immunity, designed for battery-powered applications such as cordless power tools, multicopters, drones, and light electric vehicles with batteries up to 120 V.
Infineon’s SOI technology eliminates the parasitic thyristor structure, providing robustness and immunity to negative transient voltages at the VS pin. The 2-channel gate drivers feature integrated monolithic bootstrap diodes that supply the high-side bootstrap capacitor externally, further reducing system-level BOM costs. The devices are available in a compact 3 x 3 mm² VSON10 package and come in both half-bridge (HB) and high-side + low-side (HS + LS) configurations, as well as two different source/sink currents to drive n-channel MOSFETs in various applications.
The 2ED2732S01G and the 2ED2742S01G deliver a source current of 1 A and a sink current of 2 A, while the 2ED2738S01G and the 2ED2748S01G deliver a source current of 4 A and a sink current of 8 A. All products feature independent undervoltage lockout (UVLO) on both V CC and V B pins, with the HB products also integrating shoot-through protection (STP). The MOTIX 160 V solutions are fully qualified for industrial applications according to the relevant JEDEC78/20/22 tests.
The MOTIX 160V SOI low-voltage motor control solutions are now available. The EVAL-6ED2742S01QM1 evaluation board is available for the 2ED2742S01G. More information can be found at http://www.infineon.com/MOTIX.
