A range of dedicated Gate Driver ICs from Texas Instruments suitable for both MOSFET and IGBT applications. The devices are capable of providing suitable high current outputs compatible with the drive requirements of MOSFET and IGBT power devices and are available in a variety of configurations and package types.

The Texas Instruments UCC37322 family of high-speed drivers deliver 9 A of peak drive current in an industry standard pinout. These drivers can drive the largest of MOSFETs for systems requiring extreme Miller current due to high dV/dt transitions. This eliminates additional external circuits and can replace multiple components to reduce space, design complexity, and assembly cost. Two standard logic options are offered, inverting and noninverting.
