BM60213FV-CE2

Gate Driver Overview

The BM60213FV-CE2 is a dual-channel IGBT and MOSFET gate driver from ROHM Semiconductor, designed for half-bridge applications. It features a high-side floating supply voltage of 1200V and a non-isolated low-side channel. The device provides 5A output current with typical turn-on/off times of 75ns and propagation delays up to 25ns. Operating within a -40°C to +125°C range, it supports 3.3V and 5.0V input logic. Key protections include Under Voltage Lockout (UVLO) for VCCA and VCCB, and active Miller clamping. It is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified and housed in an SSOP-B20W package.

Gate Driver Feature Summary

• High-side floating supply voltage rated at 1200V for robust half-bridge operation
• Active Miller clamping function integrated for stable gate control
• Under Voltage Lockout (UVLO) protection functions at both VCCA and VCCB power supplies
• Compatible with 3.3V and 5.0V input logic levels

Gate Driver Applications

• Half-bridge applications driving IGBT power devices
• Automotive power electronics systems requiring AEC-Q100 qualification
• Industrial motor drive circuits
• Inverter topologies utilizing high-side and low-side switching

Gate Driver Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CE2 against the official datasheet to confirm pinout and packaging details. Confirm that the component status is acceptable for new designs, as related models in this series may carry NRND status. Ensure compatibility with the intended evaluation board, such as the BM60213FV-EVK001, if prototype testing is required. Check functional safety classification requirements for your specific application context.

Gate Driver Selection Notes

Select this model when a 1200V high-side capability is required alongside a standard low-side driver in a single package. It is suitable for designs needing active Miller clamping to prevent false triggering. Consider the 5A peak output current and 75ns delay characteristics for medium-speed switching applications. Verify that the SSOP-B20W package size fits the PCB layout constraints and thermal management strategy.

Gate Driver Part Context

This component belongs to ROHM's automotive-grade gate driver family, specifically engineered for high-voltage power switching. It complements other models like the BM60212FV-C by offering similar functionality with updated packaging or minor parameter adjustments. The series supports functional safety analysis and is designed to meet the rigorous demands of automotive and industrial power conversion environments.

Gate Driver Replacement Considerations

The BM60212FV-C is a related model in the same series. However, check the official status of the BM60212FV-C, as some variants are marked as Not Recommended for New Designs (NRND). Direct substitution requires verifying pin-to-pin compatibility and ensuring the replacement part meets the 1200V high-side voltage requirement.
