GD3160
GD3160 is Advanced IGBT/SiC gate driver manufactured by NXP Semiconductors.
description The GD3160 is an advanced, single-channel gate driver for IGBTs and Si C 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/Si C 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 Si C MOSFETs. Self test, control, and protection functions are included for design of high-reliability systems (ASIL C/D). The GD3160 meets the stringent requirements of automotive applications and is fully AEC-Q100 grade 1 qualified.
