IXYS Integrated Circuits Division (ICD), Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of IXYS Corporation announced the immediate availability of the IX4426, IX4427 and IX4428 MOSFET gate drivers in a small 3×3 DFN package. The outputs of the IX4426/7/8M are capable of sourcing and sinking 1.5A, and can switch a 1000pF load in less than 10ns. For higher current requirements, the two outputs can be paralleled for a total of 3A peak sourcing and sinking current. The IX4426/7/8M devices have a wide operating voltage range of 4.5V to 35V, which is much higher than competitive parts. The inputs are TTL and CMOS compatible and are virtually immune to latch-up. The IX4426/7/8M are specified with an extended operating temperature range of -40 degrees C to +125 degrees C.

The IX4426/7/8M are available in a 3mm x 3mm DFN package. Compared to an 8-lead SOIC package, the 3mm x 3mm DFN package has almost twice the power dissipation capability while needing only 20% of the PCB area. The IX4426M is configured as a dual inverting driver, the IX4427M is configured as a dual non-inverting driver, and the IX4428M is configured with one inverting and one non-inverting driver.

These low cost devices are well suited for driving power MOSFETs, IGBTs and SiC devices in high power switched mode power supply applications, motor controls, and dc-dc converters. IXYS ICD also offers dual 4A gate drivers (IXD_604D2 series) and 9A gate drivers (IXD_609D2 series) in DFN packages.
