They are available in half-bridge, high-side/low-side and 3-phase driver configurations. And they work with current drive options from 600 mA to 4.5A, and they support 3.3V logic for system integration with MCUs.
According to the company, they are also designed with enhanced noise immunity, Schmitt-triggered inputs and internal deadtime for MOSFET protection.
Applications
The high-voltage gate drivers are designed for motor control and power conversion systems, in both industrial and consumer applications.
For example, stepper motors, compressors, pump motors, motor drives for small low-current motors, DC-DC converters, industrial inverters or renewable energy systems.
600V gate driver
The seven low-side or high-side drive topology parts are: MCP14LH2101, MCP14LH2106, MCP14LH21064, MCP14LH2190, MCP14LH21904, MCP14LH2181, and MCP14LH21814.
The four half-bridge drive topology parts are: MCP14H2103, MCP14H2104, MCP14H2184 and MCP14H2304.
And finally, the MCP8062136 is for a three-phase motor drive topology.
The drivers are available for purchase in production quantities, says Microchip.
Power conversion
“Microchip’s 600V gate drivers give our customers the reliability and efficiency they need to tackle complex motor control and power conversion challenges,” said Rudy Jaramillo, VP of Microchip’s analog power and interface division. “These devices help engineers bring their power systems to market faster and with greater confidence.”
