IXDN404PI

Gate Driver Overview

The IXDN404PI is a dual low-side ultrafast MOSFET gate driver manufactured by IXYS Integrated Circuits. It provides 4A peak output current to drive power MOSFETs efficiently. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 35V and features non-inverting logic configuration. Key electrical parameters include a rise time of 9ns and a fall time of 8ns, ensuring fast switching performance. It functions reliably across an operating temperature range from -55°C to +150°C (TJ). The component is housed in an 8-DIP package with through-hole mounting.

Gate Driver Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'PI' indicates the DIP-8 through-hole package variant. Confirm RoHS compliance status via the manufacturer's official documentation or certified datasheet before procurement. Ensure the supplier provides traceable origin for industrial-grade components. Cross-reference the part number with the latest IXYS Integrated Circuits catalog to confirm availability and any potential obsolescence notices.

Gate Driver Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual low-side driver with high speed and moderate current capacity is required. It is suitable for applications where through-hole mounting is preferred over surface mount technology. Consider the 35V maximum supply voltage limit when designing the gate drive circuit. Evaluate thermal management requirements given the wide operating temperature range up to 150°C junction temperature.

Gate Driver Part Context

The IXDN404PI belongs to the IXD_604 series of gate drivers from IXYS Integrated Circuits. This series is designed for driving power MOSFETs in various power electronics applications. The component represents a solution for efficient switching control in medium-power systems. It complements other IXYS power semiconductor products like IGBTs and diodes in complete power modules.

Gate Driver Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible alternatives such as the IXDN604PI if higher voltage ratings are needed. Verify functional equivalence with other dual low-side drivers from IXYS or competitors. Ensure replacement parts match the 4A output current and 8-DIP package constraints.
