GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADuM4121/ADuM4121-1¹ are 2 A isolated, single-channel
drivers that employ Analog Devices, Inc.’s iCoupler® technology
to provide precision isolation. The ADuM4121/ADuM4121-1
provide 5 kV rms isolation in the wide-body, 8-lead SOIC package.
Combining high speed CMOS and monolithic transformer
technology, these isolation components provide outstanding
performance characteristics superior to alternatives such as the
combination of pulse transformers and gate drivers.
The ADuM4121/ADuM4121-1 operate with an input supply
ranging from 2.5 V to 6.5 V, providing compatibility with lower
voltage systems. In comparison to gate drivers that employ high
voltage level translation methodologies, the ADuM4121/
ADuM4121-1 offer the benefit of true, galvanic isolation
between the input and the output.
The ADuM4121/ADuM4121-1 include an internal Miller clamp
that activates at 2 V on the falling edge of the gate drive output,
supplying the driven gate with a lower impedance path to reduce
the chance of Miller capacitance induced turn on.
Options exists to allow the thermal shutdown to be enabled or
disabled. As a result, the ADuM4121/ADuM4121-1 provide
reliable control over the switching characteristics of insulated
gate bipolar transistor (IGBT)/metal oxide semiconductor field,
effect transistor (MOSFET) configurations over a wide range of
switching voltages.
