The 2EDN EiceDRIVER ICs come in industry standard 8-pin packages and feature two independent, non-isolated low side channels, each capable of providing a 5A source and sink peak current. Both channels operate with typical rise and fall times of just 5ns, while the 1ns channel-to-channel delay matching allows configuration of simultaneous switching to double the total drive current.
Despite the high current, the output stages offer a very low RDS(ON), minimising power dissipation in the driver IC, even if a very small or no external gate resistor is used. Robustness against ground bounce for system reliability is ensured through the ability of the driver ICs to handle up to -10V DC at the control and enable inputs.
Volume production of the 2EDN7524 MOSFET driver has started in a DSO package with an Under Voltage Lock Out (UVLO) of 4 V. An UVLO variant with 8V and a TSSOP package in 4 and 8V will be available in January 2016. The versions in a WSON package with both 4V and 8V UVLO will be launched in a second wave in the first quarter 2016.
