Fairchild Semiconductor’s high voltage gate driver IC (HVIC) with 4A current driving capability ensures exceptional system reliability and space benefits in consumer and industrial applications. Featuring the industry’s widest high-side driver operation with negative VS swings of up to -9.8V (at VBS = 15V), robust positive and negative VB and an innovative common-mode dv/dt noise canceling circuit, the FAN7371 provides excellent noise immunity and increases system reliability. This HVIC saves at least 50 percent PCB area compared to optocoupler-based or pulse transformer-based solutions, and eliminates a buffer transistor compared to other low current HVICs on the market. Fairchild’s FAN7371 is the optimal solution for driving MOSFETs and IGBTs in a wide array of applications up to 600V including plasma display panel (PDP), high intensity discharge (HID) lighting, induction heating and other general purpose inverter applications.
