Texas Instruments’ DRV8300U Gate Driver is 100V three half-bridge gate drivers, capable of driving high-side and low-side N-channel power MOSFETs.
A gate driver is a power amplifier that accepts a low power input from a controller IC and produces the appropriate high current gate drive for a power device. It is used when a PWM controller cannot provide the output current required to drive the gate capacitance of the associated power device.
The DRV8300UD three-phase gate driver generates the correct gate drive voltages using an integrated bootstrap diode and external capacitor for the high-side MOSFETs. GVDD is used to generate gate drive voltage for the low-side MOSFETs. The Gate Drive architecture supports peak up to 750mA source and 1.5A sink currents.
The phase pins SHx can tolerate the significant negative voltage transients. At the same time, the high side gate driver supply BSTx and GHx can support higher positive voltage transients (125V) abs max voltage which improves the system’s robustness. Small propagation delay and delay matching specifications minimize the deadtime requirement, further improving efficiency. Under-voltage protection is provided for both the low and high-side of the Texas Instruments DRV8300U through GVDD and BST under-voltage lockout.
