IXDF604PI

Overview

The IXDF604PI is a dual high-speed low-side gate driver manufactured by Littelfuse/IXYS. It features one inverting and one non-inverting output channel, providing a source/sink drive current of 4 A. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 35 V and supports through-hole DIP-8 packaging. Key electrical parameters include a rise time of 9 ns and a fall time of 8 ns. It functions with a control current of 5 mA and has a quiescent supply current of 10 uA. The component is rated for an extended operating temperature range from -40°C to +125°C and holds Automotive AEC-Q100 qualification.

Feature Summary

• Optically isolated input-to-output architecture for noise immunity
• Dual configuration with one inverting and one non-inverting driver
• High-speed switching capability suitable for modern MOSFETs and IGBTs
• Automotive grade reliability with AEC-Q100 certification

Applications

• DC charging station power converters
• Off-board charger sub-unit power conversion
• AC and DC switching circuits
• Industrial motor drives using IXYS MOSFETs or IGBTs

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'PI' confirms the PDIP-8 package and lead-free status. Confirm AEC-Q100 automotive qualification requirements match the target application standards. Ensure the supplier provides valid datasheets referencing the IXD_604 series specifications. Check for RoHS compliance documentation as required by regional regulations. Validate that the distributor is an authorized source for Littelfuse/IXYS components.

Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-channel low-side driving is required with optical isolation. The 4 A peak current supports fast switching of power devices. The inclusion of both inverting and non-inverting outputs simplifies half-bridge or push-pull topologies without external logic inversion. Consider the DIP-8 package for prototyping or applications requiring through-hole assembly. Verify thermal management needs against the -40°C to +125°C operational range.

Part Context

The IXDF604PI belongs to the IXD_604 family of dual high-speed gate drivers, which also includes variants like IXDD604, IXDI604, and IXDN604. These drivers are designed specifically to interface with and drive the latest generation of IXYS power semiconductors. The 'F' in the part number typically denotes the optically isolated variant within this series, distinguishing it from non-isolated counterparts.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include IXDD604, IXDI604, and IXDN604, depending on whether isolation or specific pinout configurations are required. Cross-manufacturer replacements must match the 4 A drive current, dual-channel layout, and DIP-8 footprint. Verify that any alternative maintains the same optical isolation voltage ratings and switching speeds.
