STMicroelectronics STDRIVEG610
The STDRIVEG610 is a high-voltage half-bridge gate driver for N‑channel Enhancement Mode GaN. The high-side driver section is designed to stand a voltage rail up to 600 V and can be easily supplied by the integrated bootstrap diode. The STDRIVEG610 features supply UVLOs tailored to fast startup and lowconsumption soft-switching applications, but with full hard switching support and interlocking to avoid cross-conduction conditions.FEATURES
