Analog Devices India, (ADI), introduces isolated gate drivers with integrated isolated power
Analog Devices, a provider of semiconductors for signal processing applications, is introducing isolated half bridge gate drivers that incorporate isolated power and isolated gate drivers in one package. Competitive products, such as optocoupler isolated gate drivers, require separate power isolation. Integration eliminates components, reduces system cost and size by as much as 50 percent, and improves system reliability and quality by simplifying designs. Furthermore, the new products will come pre-approved with safety approvals normally required for discrete based isolated power supplies.
Analog Devices’ engineers integrated an isolated power supply and isolated gate drivers in the same package. This provides isolated high side and low side outputs together with ADI’s proprietary integrated isolated power to create an isolated DC to DC converter. Isolated half bridge gate drivers reduce system cost and size while increasing quality and reliability for motor drives, power inverters, and plasma displays.
