ADUM4136BRWZ

Isolators - Gate Drivers Overview

The ADuM4136BRWZ is a single-channel, high-voltage isolated gate driver optimized for driving insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs). It utilizes Analog Devices iCoupler magnetic coupling technology to provide electrical isolation between the control and power sides. The device supports supply voltages from 2.5V to 6V on both sides and offers a peak output current of 4A. It features a propagation delay of 100ns and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. The component is housed in a 16-lead SOIC package with wide body.

Isolators - Gate Drivers Feature Summary

• Single-channel design specifically optimized for IGBT driving applications
• iCoupler magnetic coupling technology provides robust galvanic isolation
• High peak output current capability of 4A for efficient switching
• Wide operating temperature range suitable for industrial environments

Isolators - Gate Drivers Applications

• Industrial motor drives
• Inverter circuits
• Power supply systems requiring IGBT control

Isolators - Gate Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'BRWZ' against official Analog Devices documentation to confirm package type and tape/reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the 16-SOIC wide body package. Confirm that the 4A peak current rating meets the load requirements of the target IGBT. Check for any recent product lifecycle notices or obsolescence warnings directly from the manufacturer before finalizing procurement plans.

Isolators - Gate Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel isolated driver is required for IGBTs rather than MOSFETs, as it is specifically optimized for the latter. Consider the 4A peak current and 100ns propagation delay for timing constraints. Evaluate the need for the 5000Vrms isolation barrier relative to system voltage levels. Compare against other iCoupler drivers if bidirectional or multi-channel functionality is needed instead.

Isolators - Gate Drivers Part Context

The ADUM4136 belongs to the ADuM413x family of isolated gate drivers from Analog Devices. This series leverages silicon dioxide (SiO2) based microtransformers for signal transmission. The BRWZ designation indicates a specific commercial grade variant in a 16-SOIC package. It is part of the broader portfolio of iCoupler products designed to replace traditional optocouplers in high-reliability power electronics.
