IXDN409PI

Overview

The IXDN409PI is a single-channel, low-side gate driver IC manufactured by IXYS. It is designed for driving IGBTs and MOSFETs with a peak output current of 9A for both sourcing and sinking. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 35V and features an inverting logic input configuration. Typical rise and fall times are 10ns each. It supports CMOS and TTL logic levels with VIL of 0.8V and VIH of 3.5V. The component is housed in an 8-pin DIP package and is rated for a junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C.

Feature Summary

• High peak output current capability of 9A for rapid switching of power devices
• Compatible with standard CMOS and TTL logic input interfaces
• Ultrafast switching performance with typical 10ns rise and fall times
• Robust operating temperature range suitable for industrial environments

Applications

• IGBT gate drive circuits in motor control systems
• MOSFET drivers in high-frequency power supplies
• Inverter bridge configurations in industrial drives
• Switching applications requiring fast turn-on and turn-off times

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'PI' indicates the 8-pin DIP package variant. Confirm end-of-life status as distribution availability may be limited. Ensure the application circuit matches the low-side configuration requirements. Check for RoHS compliance documentation if required for your manufacturing process. Validate that the 9A peak current rating meets your load demands without exceeding thermal limits.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single low-side driver with high peak current is required. It is suitable for designs needing fast switching speeds around 10ns. Consider the 8-pin DIP package if through-hole mounting is preferred over surface mount options like the TO-263 variants. Ensure the supply voltage remains within the 4.5V to 35V range for proper operation.

Part Context

This part belongs to the IXD series of ultrafast MOSFET drivers from IXYS. These drivers utilize a combination of CMOS and HDMOSTM processes for enhanced performance. The IXDN409PI specifically offers a non-inverting output option in some package variants, but the PI suffix typically denotes the DIP package version. It is part of a family designed for efficient power switching applications.

Replacement Considerations

The IXDI409YI is a similar low-side driver but uses a TO-263 surface-mount package. Verify pinout compatibility before substitution. The IXDN409SIA is another variant with different packaging. Ensure the replacement maintains the 9A peak current and 10ns switching speed requirements.
