Description

The MCP8062136 is a three-phase gate driver IC designed for high-voltage, high-speed applications, driving N-channel MOSFETs and IGBTs in a half-bridge configuration. The device's high voltage process enables the MCP8062136 high sides to switch to 600V in a bootstrap operation.

The MCP8062136 logic inputs are compatible with standard TTL and CMOS levels (down to 3.3V) to interface easily with controlling devices and are enabled low to better function in high noise environments. The driver outputs feature high pulse current buffers designed for minimum driver cross conduction.

The MCP8062136 offers numerous protection functions. A shoot-through protection logic prevents both outputs being high with both inputs high (fault state), an undervoltage lockout for VCC shuts down all drivers through an internal fault control, and a UVLO for VBS shuts down the respective high side output. Also an overcurrent protection will terminate the six outputs. Both the VCC UVLO and the overcurrent protection trip an automatic fault clear with a timing that is adjustable with an external capacitor.

The MCP8062136 is offered in SOIC-28 package and operates over an extended −40°C to +125°C temperature range.
