Navitas Semiconductor NV1702 IsoFast™ Bi-Directional GaN Gate Driver
Navitas Semiconductor NV1702 IsoFast™ Bi-Directional GaN Gate Driver is optimized to drive bi-directional GaN and deliver reliable, fast, and accurate power control in high-voltage systems. This dual-independent-channel digital GaN driver offers four times higher transient immunity than existing drivers (up to 200V/ns), and no external negative bias supply is needed. The high-speed device features two fully isolated drivers engineered to drive GaN power switches with a medium on-resistance range and low dV/dt applications (10V/ns to 20V/ns). The digital input controls are galvanically isolated from the driver's sides using a proprietary double capacitive silicon isolation barrier, providing isolation above 10kV surge voltage between any input or output combination. The NV1702 IsoFast driver from Navitas can sustain common-mode transients as large as 200V/ns. Typical applications include single-stage converters, high-voltage inverters and motor control, and DC-DC switched power supplies.Features
