High-voltage gate driver IC technology with integrated DESAT diode

Inhalt:
Desaturation protection is a very popular solution for short circuit protection in inverter applications. The desaturation detection circuit requires an external, highvoltage, fast recovery diode. This increases the size and cost of the PCB. Infineon offers a high-voltage gate driver IC technology that integrates the desaturationprotection circuit and the high-voltage, fast-recovery, desaturation-detection diode monolithically to reduce the size of the PCB space and system costs.
