General Description

The IXDD504 and IXDE504 each consist of two 4-Amp

CMOS high speed MOSFET gate drivers for driving the

latest IXYS MOSFETs & IGBTs. Each of the dual outputs

can source and sink 4 Amps of peak current while produc-

ing voltage rise and fall times of less than 15ns. The input

of each driver is TTL or CMOS compatible and is virtually

immune to latch up. Patented* design innovations eliminate

cross conduction and current "shoot-through". Improved

speed and drive capabilities are further enhanced by fast,

matched rise and fall times.

Additionally, each IXDD504 or IXDE504 driver incorporates a

unique ability to disable the output under fault conditions.

When a logical low is forced into the Enable input of a

driver, both of it's final output stage MOSFETs (NMOS and

PMOS) are turned off. As a result, the respective output of

the IXDD504 enters a tristate mode and, with additional

cicuitry, achieves a soft turn-off of the MOSFET/IGBT when

a short circuit is detected. This helps prevent damage that

could occur to the MOSFET/IGBT if it were to be switched

off abruptly due to a dv/dt over-voltage transient.

The IXDD504 and IXDE504 are each available in the 8-Pin

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

8-Lead DFN (D2) package, (which occupies less than 65%

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