DEIC420

Product Summary

TheDEIC420 is a CMOS high speed high current gate driver specifically designed to drive MOSFETs in Class Dand E HF RF applications at up to 45MHz, as well as
other applications requiring ultrafast rise and fall times or short minimum pulse widths. The DEIC420 can source and sink 20A of peak current while producing voltage rise and fall times of less than 4ns, and minimum pulse widths of 8ns. The input of the driver is compatible with TTL or CMOS and is fully immune to latch up over the entire operating range. Designed with small internal delays, cross conduction/current shoot-through is virtually eliminated in the DEIC420. Its features and wide safety margin in operating voltage and power make the DEIC420 unmatched in performance and value.The DEIC420 is packaged in DEI's low inductance RF package incorporating DEI's patented
(1)RF layout techniques to minimize stray lead inductances for optimum switching performance. For applications that do not require the power dissipation of the DEIC420, the driver is also available in a 28 pin SOIC package. See
the IXDD415SI data sheet for additional information. The DEIC420 is a surface-mount device, and incorporates patented RF layout techniques to minimize stray lead inductances for optimum switching performance.
