Gate drivers enable improved fuel efficiency in automotive applications

( 01 Jun 2009 )

Fairchild Semiconductor’s FAN708x series of gate drivers improves 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). The FAN708x products meet the industry’s highest reliability requirements and are qualified according to the AEC-Q100 standard. In addition, the devices feature higher transient voltage performance, making system design more immune to noise issues; allowing reliable, precise control of MOSFETs or IGBTs even under the harshest operating conditions.
