New Low Cost Dual 5A Gate Driver IC

The IX4340 IC is a 5A dual low-side MOSFET driver.

It features CMOS and TTL compatible inputs, and also two independent drivers that  each is capable of sourcing and sinking 5A.

The IX4340 IC is a dual, high current, low-side gate driver having a 5V to 20V supply voltage range. The two outputs can be  paralleled for higher current applications. Fast  propagation delay times (16ns typical) and fast rise  and fall times (7ns) make the IX4340 well suited for  high frequency applications. There is an independent Enable function for each output. Under voltage lockout circuitry (UVLO) prevents the high side source driver from conducting until there is sufficient supply voltage. The outputs are  held low if the logic inputs are floating.

The device is well suited for switch-mode power supplies, DC-DC converters, motor controllers, and power inverters. It is available in a standard 8-pin SOIC package and a thermally enhanced 8-pin SOIC package.
