Infineon adds to EiceDRIVER 2ED132xS12x family

Infineon, a leading semiconductor solutions provider, has recently announced an expansion of its product portfolio with the introduction of the EiceDRIVER 2ED132xS12x family. This new family of 3-phase gate drivers is designed to meet the high-performance demands of modern power electronics systems, providing reliable and efficient operation in a compact and cost-effective package./

The EiceDRIVER 2ED132xS12x family builds upon the success of Infineon's previous line of gate drivers, the EiceDRIVER 6ED223xS12T. Like its predecessor, this new family utilizes silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology to provide superior insulation and noise immunity, ensuring safe and reliable operation in high-voltage environments up to 1200 volts.

Where the EiceDRIVER 2ED132xS12x family sets itself apart is in its enhanced feature set, offering improved robustness, faster response times, and greater flexibility compared to previous generations of gate drivers. These features make it ideal for use in a wide range of applications, from industrial motor drives to renewable energy systems and electric vehicles.

One key feature of the EiceDRIVER 2ED132xS12x family is its ability to support both N-channel and P-channel MOSFETs, giving designers greater flexibility in their choice of power switch. This versatility also extends to the device's adjustable dead-time control, which allows designers to optimize switching performance for their specific application.

In addition to its advanced features, the EiceDRIVER 2ED132xS12x family is designed for ease of use, with integrated protection features such as under-voltage lockout and over-temperature protection, and a simple pin-out that is compatible with standard 600V/1200V half-bridge modules.

Overall, the EiceDRIVER 2ED132xS12x family represents a significant advancement in gate driver technology, providing designers with a powerful and flexible solution for their high-performance power electronics systems. With this latest addition to its product portfolio, Infineon continues to lead the way in driving innovation and progress in the semiconductor industry.
