EV6R11 KIT
With the addition of High Current MOSFET Drivers on the outputs, the IX6R11's typical 6A peak output current
capability can be "boosted" to drive the latest IXYS MOSFETS & IGBTs. Figure 6 shows the addition of two
IXDD414's. These are CMOS high-speed MOSFET drivers that have a 14A Peak Output Drive Capability, allowing
the IX6R11 to drive a pair of IXFK90N20Q 90A/200V Power MOSFETs. The 2 Ohm gate resistors shown should
be Non-Inductive High Performance Film resistors such at those available from Caddock. Particular attention also
needs to be paid to Suppy By-passing, Grounding, and minimizing the Output Lead Inductance when designing such
a high power circuit layout.
