IXDN614PI

Overview

The Littelfuse IXDN614PI is a single-channel low-side gate driver designed for high-speed switching applications. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 35V and supports an extended temperature range from -40°C to +125°C. The device delivers a peak output current of 14A with a propagation delay of 50ns, enabling voltage rise and fall times under 30ns. It features a non-inverting input configuration and consumes a low supply current of 10µA. Packaged in an 8-DIP format, it is optimized for driving IXYS MOSFETs and IGBTs.

Feature Summary

• High-speed switching capability with minimal propagation delay
• Internal circuitry eliminates cross-conduction and latch-up risks
• Low quiescent supply current for energy efficiency
• Robust thermal performance across extended industrial temperatures

Applications

• Driving IXYS MOSFETs and IGBTs
• Motor control systems
• Industrial automation power stages
• Power supply inverters

Procurement Notes

Verify the component authenticity by checking the manufacturer marking against official Littelfuse datasheets. Confirm the package type matches the specified 8-DIP configuration. Ensure the operating environment stays within the documented voltage and temperature limits to maintain reliability. Cross-reference the part number suffix to confirm pinout compatibility with existing PCB layouts.

Selection Notes

Select this driver for applications requiring fast switching speeds and high peak current drive capabilities. It is suitable for designs utilizing IXYS discrete semiconductors. Consider the DIP-8 package for through-hole mounting requirements. Evaluate the low supply current benefit for battery-operated or energy-sensitive systems. Verify that the low-side configuration aligns with the system topology.

Part Context

This component belongs to the IXD614 series of high-speed gate drivers manufactured by Littelfuse (formerly IXYS). The series includes variants like IXDD614 and IXDI614, differentiated primarily by package and isolation features. The IXDN614PI specifically denotes the non-isolated, through-hole DIP version intended for general-purpose power switching applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other parts from the IXD614 family such as IXDD614 or IXDI614, provided package and isolation requirements match. Verify pin compatibility before substitution.
