EL7457CL-T13

Gate Driver Overview

The EL7457CL-T13 is a high-speed CMOS quad gate driver manufactured by Renesas Electronics. It integrates four independent drivers in a compact 16-lead QFN package with an exposed pad. The device supports supply voltages from 4.5V to 18V and delivers peak output currents of 2A for both sourcing and sinking. Key electrical characteristics include rise and fall times of 13.5ns and 13ns respectively, with maximum turn-on and turn-off delays of 14.5ns and 12.5ns. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Gate Driver Feature Summary

• Integrates four independent non-inverting gate drivers for high-side and low-side MOSFET control
• Provides robust 2A peak source and sink current capability
• Features synchronous operation with matched propagation delays
• Utilizes a compact 16-QFN surface-mount package

Gate Driver Applications

• High-frequency DC-DC converter topologies
• Motor drive circuits requiring isolated or complementary switching
• Power management systems utilizing high-speed MOSFETs

Gate Driver Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T13' indicates tape and reel packaging when ordering. Confirm RoHS compliance status as older variants may differ. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability documentation for the Renesas/Intersil manufacturing origin. Check for moisture sensitivity level requirements during storage and handling procedures.

Gate Driver Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring four-channel synchronization and high current drive in a small footprint. Compare against SOIC packages if board space allows for larger footprints. Consider the exposed thermal pad requirement for proper heat dissipation and grounding in the PCB layout design.

Gate Driver Part Context

This part belongs to the EL7457 series of ultra-high-speed CMOS gate drivers. It is functionally similar to the EL7457CSZ but utilizes a QFN package instead of SOIC. The 'CL' designation typically refers to the lead-free QFN variant, while 'CUZ' denotes the QSOP version. It serves as a bridge between standard logic drivers and specialized high-power gate drivers.

Gate Driver Replacement Considerations

EL7457CLZ is the direct lead-free equivalent. EL7457CSZ offers identical electrical performance in an SOIC-16 package.
