Description

The ADuM3223/ADuM4223 are 4 A isolated, half-bridge gatedrivers that employ the Analog Devices, Inc., iCoupler® technology to provide independent and isolated high-side and low-sideoutputs. The ADuM3223 provides 3000 V rms isolation in thenarrow body, 16-lead SOIC package, and the ADuM4223 provides 5000 V rms isolation in the wide body, 16-lead SOIC package.Combining high speed CMOS and monolithic transformer technology, these isolation components provide outstanding performance characteristics superior to the alternatives, such as the combination of pulse transformers and gate drivers. The ADuM3223/ADuM4223 isolators each provide two independent isolated channels. They operate with an inputsupply ranging from 3.0 V to 5.5 V, providing compatibility with lower voltage systems. In comparison to gate drivers employinghigh voltage level translation methodologies, the ADuM3223/ADuM4223 offer the benefit of true, galvanic isolation between the input and each output. Each output may be continuously operated up to 537 V peak relative to the input, thereby supporting low-side switching to negative voltages. The differential voltagebetween the high-side and low-side may be as high as 800 V peak.As a result, the ADuM3223/ADuM4223 provide reliable controlover the switching characteristics of IGBT/MOSFET configurations over a wide range of positive or negative switching voltages.Applications Switching power supplies Isolated IGBT/MOSFET gate drives Industrial inverters Automotive
