IXIDM1403_1505_M

Power Driver Modules Overview

The IXIDM1403_1505_M is a high voltage isolated driver module featuring two independent gate drivers with 4 kV isolation. It delivers up to 30 A peak gate current and provides +15 V/-5 V output voltages for IGBT control. The device includes an internal power supply generating up to 2 W per channel from a single +15 V source, alongside a 3.3 V output for external microcontrollers. Operating within a -40°C to +105°C range, it incorporates comprehensive protection mechanisms including under/over-voltage lockout, over-current detection via desaturation or sense resistors, and thermal shutdown at 150°C.

Power Driver Modules Feature Summary

Power Driver Modules FAQ

How does the module handle simultaneous activation requests on both channels?

The module implements an input signal interlock function with priority given to Channel A (INA). If INA is active, INB commands are ignored until INA becomes inactive, ensuring safe dead time operation.

What methods are supported for over-current protection?

Over-current protection can be implemented using a low-value current sense resistor, an IGBT with a secondary current sense output, or by utilizing the IGBT de-saturation event detected at the ICM pin.

Can the internal 3.3 V regulator be disabled?

Yes, the internal LDO regulator can be disabled by setting the MODE pin to a logic high level, allowing an external 3.3 V source to power the internal logic and external MCU.
