CPC1596G

Isolators - Gate Drivers Overview

The CPC1596G is a single-channel optically isolated gate driver manufactured by IXYS Integrated Circuits Division. It provides high-voltage isolation between the input control circuit and the output power stage. The device features an LED input and a totem-pole output capable of sourcing and sinking 1A current. It operates with a supply voltage range of 15V to 570V and offers 3750Vrms isolation voltage. The component is available in an 8-DIP package and supports a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to 110°C.

Isolators - Gate Drivers Feature Summary

• Provides galvanic isolation for driving high-side or low-side power switches
• Delivers symmetrical peak source and sink currents of 1A
• Supports high common-mode transient immunity for noisy environments
• Integrates a totem-pole output stage for fast switching speeds

Isolators - Gate Drivers Applications

• Isolated power supply controller interfaces
• Solid-state transformer applications
• High-frequency inverter circuits

Isolators - Gate Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'G' indicates the 8-DIP package configuration as distinct from surface-mount variants like 'STR'. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for any product change notices (PCN) regarding lead material updates. Ensure the supplier provides UL or CSA certification documentation if required for end-product safety approvals. Validate that the 570V supply rating meets the specific application requirements.

Isolators - Gate Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component when high voltage isolation and robust current drive are required for power semiconductors. Compare propagation delay times against other OptoMOS gate drivers if precise timing synchronization is critical. Consider the 8-DIP package constraints for PCB layout and thermal management. Evaluate the need for additional external components such as bootstrap diodes or decoupling capacitors based on the target circuit topology.

Isolators - Gate Drivers Part Context

This part belongs to the CPC1590 series of optically isolated gate drivers designed for industrial power electronics. It complements other IXYS solutions like the CPC1596GSTR, which offers the same functionality in a surface-mount format. The series addresses the demand for reliable isolation in high-power conversion systems where electrical noise immunity is paramount.
