General Description

The IXDI514 and IXDN514 are high speed high current gate

drivers specifically designed to drive the largest IXYS

MOSFETs & IGBTs to their minimum switching time and

maximum parctical frequency limits. The IXDI514 and

IXDN514 can source and sink 14 Amps of Peak Current

while producing voltage rise and fall times of less than

30ns. The inputs of the Drivers are compatible with TTL or

CMOS and are virtually immune to latch up over the entire

operating range! Patented* design innovations eliminate

cross conduction and current "shoot-through". Improved

speed and drive capabilities are further enhanced by very

quick & matched rise and fall times.

The IXDI514 is configured as a Inverting Gate Driver, and the

IXDN514 is configured as a Non-Inverting Gate Driver.

The IXDI514 and IXDN514 are each available in the 8-Pin P-

DIP (PI) package, the 8-Pin SOIC (SIA) package, and the

6-Lead DFN (D1) package, (which occupies less than 65%

of the board area of the 8-Pin SOIC).
