ON Semiconductor FAN7392M High-Current Gate Drive IC

The FAN7392M is a robust gate drive integrated circuit (IC) designed and manufactured by ON Semiconductor, a leader in energy-efficient innovations. This high-current gate driver is specifically engineered to drive MOSFETs and IGBTs, devices that require high peak gate drive currents in applications such as motor drives, inverters, UPS, and power supply systems.

This IC is well-suited for high-power and high-frequency applications, thanks to its ability to deliver high peak current outputs up to ±1.5 A. The FAN7392M features a high noise immunity and is capable of operating at a wide range of supply voltages, from 10V to 20V, providing the flexibility needed for various design requirements.

The FAN7392M comes in an 8-pin SOP package, which is compact and offers a space-saving solution on the PCB. The device incorporates several protective features that enhance its reliability and robustness in harsh operating conditions. These features include:

• Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO) protection for both high-side and low-side to ensure the IC operates only when the supply voltage is sufficient.
• Matched propagation delay for both channels, which improves the performance of the driven power device by ensuring synchronized switching.
• High dv/dt immunity to prevent false triggering from the high-voltage levels typically found in power electronics applications.

Furthermore, the FAN7392M offers a separate high-side and low-side driver output, which allows for better control and flexibility in various circuit topologies. The high-side output features a bootstrap operation that is compatible with bootstrap diode refresh during PWM operation, making it suitable for high-frequency applications.

With its combination of high performance, reliability, and compact form factor, the ON Semiconductor FAN7392M is an excellent choice for designers looking to improve efficiency and robustness in their high-power switching applications.
