The new SRC EiceDRIVER™ family serves the latest generation of highly efficient low-EMI electric drive systems with lower EMI and improved efficiency.
Based on the Infineon coreless transformer technology, it is the first high-voltage isolated gate driver on the market with dynamic Slew Rate Control (SRC) which allows on-the-fly dV/dt control of electric drives through precise gate current control, providing the best trade-off between minimum power dissipation and minimum EMI depending on operating conditions. To turn on the IGBT, the driver works as an adjustable current source in conjunction with an external PMOS transistors and a sense resistor. To turn off the IGBT, the driver uses a 2 A MOSFET output stage.
