The FAN7393AM from ON Semiconductor is a high-performance, high-side gate-drive IC designed for high-speed switching applications that require efficient and reliable operation. This gate driver is particularly suitable for driving power MOSFETs and IGBTs that operate up to 600V.

Key Features

• High-Current Drive Capability: The FAN7393AM can provide a high peak current drive, with 2.5A source and 2.5A sink capability, ensuring rapid charging and discharging of the gate capacitance for fast switching performance.
• High-Voltage Operation: With a maximum operating voltage of 600V, this IC can easily handle the demands of high-voltage circuits, making it ideal for applications such as motor drives, inverters, and power supplies.
• Bootstrap Operation: The integrated bootstrap diode simplifies the circuit design by allowing for high-side gate drive implementation in a half-bridge configuration.
• Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO): The built-in UVLO feature ensures that the gate driver is only operational when the supply voltage is sufficient, thus protecting the device and the power switches it controls.
• Matched Propagation Delays: The FAN7393AM offers matched propagation delays for both the turn-on and turn-off, which helps in maintaining signal fidelity and reducing dead time.
• CMOS and TTL Compatible: The input logic level is compatible with both CMOS and TTL logic, providing versatility in interfacing with control circuits.
