Fairchild Semiconductor's High-Voltage Gate Driver Simplifies Design for Ballast, SMPS and Half-Bridge Inverter Applications

Fairchild Semiconductor provides designers with another high performance, design-flexible and low power solution for ballast, SMPS and half-bridge inverter designs with its self-oscillating, high-voltage gate driver. The FAN7387 is the industry’s only high-voltage gate driver (HVIC) with an external pin for dead-time control, providing engineers with excellent design flexibility.


The FAN7387 is the Industry’s Only HVIC with External Pin for Dead-Time Control

This HVIC is designed with an innovative noise canceling technique and features high-side driver operation with negative Vs swings up to -9.8V. This feature protects the IC from negative noise and makes it more noise immune. Alternate solutions must use an additional diode to achieve this same robust protection.

All of Fairchild’s HVICs, including the FAN7387, offer significant power savings due to their low quiescent current (220µA) resulting in low power consumption in standby mode. This HVIC also provides stable performance through its low temperature dependency and excellent system reliability over a wide range of operating conditions.

The FAN7387 utilizes lead-free (Pb-free) terminals and has been characterized for moisture sensitivity in accordance with the Pb-free reflow requirements of the joint IPC/JEDEC standard J-STD-020. All of Fairchild's products are designed to meet the requirements of the European Union's Directive on the restriction of the use of certain substances (RoHS).
