Product Summary

Power Integrations' gate drivers are a product line for driving IGBTs and SiC MOSFETs. They provide the necessary functions for safely and reliably switching power devices on and off in high-voltage, high-power power conversion circuits. These gate drivers integrate essential power device driving features such as galvanic isolation, various protection functions, and isolated DC/DC power supplies, and are used in power conversion equipment for industrial machinery, energy sectors, and transportation infrastructure.

Power Integrations offers multiple product forms, including gate driver ICs, driver cores, and complete boards (Plug & Play), to suit different development phases and design policies. This allows for product selection tailored to various applications, from evaluation and startup to mass production designs based on in-house design. In addition, the manufacturer provides compatible accessories such as isolated DC/DC converters and connection cables that can be used in combination with gate driver products.

How to choose a gate driver product

Power Integrations' gate driver products are selected based on how much of the gate driver circuitry you plan to design in-house. Whether you design the entire circuit yourself, simplify the design using a product with a certain level of functionality, or even replace the gate driver design itself with a pre-made, complete board, these differences define the positioning of each product group.

■ Gate Driver IC (SCALE-iDriver)
This product consists of a standalone gate driver IC and is used when designing the gate driver circuit from scratch in-house, including gate resistors, protection circuits, and isolated power supplies. It is suitable for design policies that require detailed optimization of circuit configuration and gate conditions, and the ability to manage the gate driver circuit as an in-house design.

■ Driver Core
This product incorporates basic functions such as galvanic isolation, protection, and isolated DC/DC power supplies in addition to the gate driver IC. It is suitable for situations where you want to avoid building the gate driver circuit from scratch, but still want to design the surrounding circuits and implementation methods in-house. This product line is based on the idea of replacing part of the circuit design with off-the-shelf products.

■ Completed board (Plug & Play)
This gate driver board comes pre-assembled, including gate resistors and protection circuits, and is designed and verified for compatible power modules. It's ideal for situations where you want to reduce design effort and risk around the gate driver by adopting a configuration designed and verified by the manufacturer, rather than designing the gate driver circuitry yourself.
