IVCR2504DR

Gate Driver Overview

The IVCR2504DR is a dual-channel low-side gate driver IC manufactured by Inventchip, designed for high-speed switching applications. It features independent channels with non-inverting input logic and supports IGBT, SiC MOSFET, and GaN devices. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 20V and accepts input voltages from -5V to 20V. It delivers a peak output current of 5A for both sourcing and sinking. Typical rise and fall times are 8ns each, with a channel-to-channel delay matching of 1ns. The component is housed in an 8-SOIC package and functions across a temperature range of -40°C to 125°C.

Gate Driver Feature Summary

• Dual independent channels providing enhanced drive capability for power switches
• Integrated undervoltage lockout (UVLO) ensures safe operation under abnormal conditions
• Wide input voltage compatibility supporting TTL, CMOS levels and negative voltages
• Compact SOIC-8 packaging facilitates close layout proximity to switching devices

Gate Driver Applications

• Synchronous rectifier driving in server power supplies
• Gate driving for communication power conversion systems
• High-frequency switching circuits utilizing SiC or GaN devices

Gate Driver Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the tape and reel configuration required for your assembly process. Ensure that the selected variant matches the necessary packaging format, such as cut tape or standard reels, to align with manufacturing equipment specifications. Confirm that the component status remains active before finalizing procurement plans.

Gate Driver Selection Notes

Select this driver when higher peak current capability than the 4A series is required for efficient switching of large power devices. Consider its wide input voltage range if operating in environments with significant parasitic inductance or negative voltage transients. The tight channel matching makes it suitable for applications requiring precise timing synchronization between two switches.

Gate Driver Part Context

The IVCR2504DR belongs to the upgraded IVCR240x series from Inventchip, maintaining the family's focus on speed and safety while increasing drive strength. It serves as a direct performance enhancement over previous iterations, offering improved pull/push currents without altering the standard pinout or footprint. This continuity aids in design upgrades where increased current handling is needed.

Gate Driver Replacement Considerations

The IVCR2404DR is a confirmed substitute part number within the same product family. Verify that the reduced 4A peak current rating of the replacement meets the specific load requirements of the target application before swapping components.
