Infineon Technologies has announced the introduction of a family of rugged, reliable 700V High-Voltage ICs (HVICs) optimised for solar, power supply, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), welding and industrial drive applications. The 700V offering enables designers of high-voltage power stages to simplify their design while making them more robust.

The IR7xxxS series of HVICs feature sink/source ratings from 60 to 2,300mA and utilise PN junction technology. Available in half bridge and high- and low-side configurations, the HVICs are optimised for 700V MOSFETs and 650V IGBTs and offer full driver capability with extremely fast switching speeds to reduce magnetics component count.

Other key features include under-voltage lock-out protection for both channels and lower di/dt gate driver for better noise immunity. In addition, the HVICs are tolerant to negative transient voltage dv/dt, offer matched propagation delay for both channels and are 3.3 and 15V input logic compatible.

“The IR7xxxS series of 700V HVICs offers the simplest, smallest and lowest cost solution to drive MOSFETs or IGBTs up to a blocking voltage of 700V, delivering up to 30% reduction in part count and up to 50% of board space compared to discrete optocoupler or transformer-based solutions. Moreover, the devices deliver higher breakdown voltage and rugged transient performance for increased reliability,” said Ahmed Masood, Executive Director of High-Voltage ICs, Industrial Power Control Division, Infineon.

The IR7xxxS series is available in Surface Mount (8-SOIC) packages in high volume. The devices are lead free and RoHS compliant.
