Gate drivers enable improved fuel efficiency

Gate drivers enable improved fuel efficiency

The FAN708x gate drivers improve power consumption, noise immunity, and transient voltage performance in automotive applications. They drive MOSFETs and IGBTs in high-side and bridge-driver applications such as direct fuel injection systems and motor controls. They offer 100-µA quiescent power consumption compared to 240–µA quiescent current for competing devices.

The gate driver products are qualified according to the AEC-Q100 standard, are designed to handle negative voltage swings, and are resilient to driver stage latch up. The devices have a source current from 200 to 300 mA and a sink current from 300 to 500 mA. (Ea/1,000: FAN7080, $0.81; FAN7081, $0.73; FAN7083, $0.85; FAN7085, $0.93 — available now.)
