IXDN402PI

Overview

The IXDN402PI is a dual-channel, low-side ultrafast MOSFET gate driver manufactured by IXYS. It features two independent output channels capable of sourcing and sinking 2A peak current each. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 35V and utilizes a PDIP-8 through-hole package. Key electrical characteristics include a rise time of approximately 7.5ns and a fall time of 6.5ns. It supports both inverting and non-inverting configurations for flexible control applications.

Feature Summary

• Dual independent channel architecture for simultaneous control of multiple power switches
• Ultrafast switching performance with nanosecond-level rise and fall times
• Robust drive capability delivering 2A peak source and sink current per channel
• Wide operating supply voltage range supporting various logic levels

Applications

• High-frequency DC-DC converter circuits
• Motor drive systems requiring precise MOSFET control
• Inverter topologies for power conversion
• Switching power supply designs

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'PI' corresponds to the PDIP-8 through-hole package variant. Confirm RoHS compliance status via the official datasheet as manufacturing processes may vary. Check for obsolescence notices from IXYS or acquired entities like Vishay, as this component has been discontinued. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability documentation for quality assurance purposes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual low-side driver with high peak current capability is required. Compare against the IXDI402 series if isolation is needed, or the IXDF402 if complementary outputs are preferred. Ensure the application voltage does not exceed the 35V maximum rating. Consider thermal management requirements based on the load capacitance and switching frequency.

Part Context

The IXDN402PI belongs to the IXD_402 family of ultrafast MOSFET drivers. This series is designed for high-speed switching applications where minimal propagation delay is critical. It serves as a bridge between low-power logic controllers and high-power MOSFET gates, optimizing efficiency in power electronics systems.

Replacement Considerations

Official substitutes include the IXDI402PI for isolated versions and IXDF402PI for complementary outputs. Cross-brand equivalents such as IR2102 may require circuit adaptation due to pinout differences.
