GD3160
Advanced IGBT/SiC gate driver
Rev. 13 — 6 May 2024
Product data sheet
1 General description
The GD3160 is an advanced, single-channel gate driver for IGBTs and SiC power devices. Integrated Galvanic isolation and low on-resistance drive transistors provide high charging and discharging current, low dynamic saturation voltage and rail-to-rail gate voltage control.
Current and temperature sense minimizes IGBT/SiC stress during faults. Accurate and configurable undervoltage lockout (UVLO) provides protection while ensuring sufficient gate-drive voltage headroom.
The GD3160 autonomously manages severe faults and reports faults and status via INTB and/or INTA pins and an SPI interface. It is capable of directly driving gates of most IGBTs and SiC MOSFETs.
