Fairchild Semiconductor has launched a series of gate drivers that improve power consumption, noise immunity and transient voltage performance in automotive applications. The FAN708x series can increase fuel efficiency by enabling engineers to develop more accurate and precise fuel injection control systems under all operating conditions. These gate drivers drive MOSFETs and IGBTs in high side and bridge driver applications such as direct fuel injection systems and motor controls. The devices offer less than half the quiescent power consumption compared to alternate devices on the market (0.1mA versus 0.24mA quiescent current), allowing designers to optimize systems and extend the operating range. Featuring higher transient voltage performance, the devices make the system design more immune to noise issues; allowing reliable, precise control of MOSFETs or IGBTs even under the harshest operating conditions.
The FAN708x products meet the industry’s highest reliability requirements and are qualified according to the AEC-Q100 standard. These gate drivers are designed to handle negative voltage swings, making them more resilient to driver stage latch up. The highly integrated FAN708x gate drivers enable designers to eliminate between ten and fifteen discrete components and provide a 40 percent space savings.
