The new component expands the company's range of self-qualified driver integrated circuits, following the introduction of the SID1182KQ 1200V driver integrated circuit.
Compact, efficient, and highly robust, the new driver IC utilizes Power Integrations' high-speed FluxLink™ communication technology to ensure system safety even under fault conditions. FluxLink technology dramatically improves the reliability and isolation capabilities of the new AEC-Q100 certified gate drivers, replacing optocouplers and silicon-based capacitor or inductive coupling solutions. The SCALE-iDriver devices
The SCALE-iDriver ICs minimize the number of external components required, eliminating tantalum and electrolytic capacitors and simplifying the isolated power supply, which requires only a single transformer secondary winding. A simple two-layer PCB can be used, further increasing design simplicity and facilitating supply chain management.
Power Integrations' AEC-Q100 rated SCALE-iDriver SID1181KQ door controllers are available now, priced at $4.81 for orders of 10,000 pieces.
