The NCP5156x are isolated dual−channel gate drivers
with 4.5−A/9−A source and sink peak current respectively. They are
designed for fast switching to drive power MOSFETs, and SiC
MOSFET power switches. The NCP5156x offers short and matched
propagation delays.
Two independent and 5 kVRMS internal galvanic isolation from
input to each output and internal functional isolation between the two
output drivers allows a working voltage of up to 1500 VDC. This
driver can be used in any possible configurations of two low side, two
high−side switches or a half−bridge driver with programmable dead
time. An ENA/DIS pin enable or disable both outputs simultaneously
when set high or low for ENABLE or DISABLE mode respectively.
The NCP5156x offer other important protection functions such as
independent under−voltage lockout for both gate drivers and a Dead
Time adjustment function.
