The automotive-qualified AUIRS20302S three-phase gate-driver IC targets 12-, 24- and 48-V vehicle applications. It suits high-voltage air conditioner compressors, pumps, BLDC motor drives up to 600W and high-voltage motor drives.
The gate driver targets platforms operating at voltages up to 200-V and is capable of driving 6 n-channel power MOSFETs or IGBTs. It features an external pre-regulator to generate its own supply voltage to ensure that the gate drives do not exceed 17 V even during load dump conditions. The pre-regulator VPR pin can also supply the surrounding system components if the total consumption does not exceed 100 mA. (From $1.58 ea/10,000 — available now.)
