Infineon MOSFET Gate Driver, 8.5 A 16-Pin 5V, PG-DSO-16

This gate driver provides MOSFET gate control for low-voltage power electronics, offering a Compact 16-pin solution for switching applications. It operates from a low supply level up to a 5V maximum and is designed for deployment where controlled drive of power transistors is required within a wide operating temperature range.

• 3.3V minimum supply enables direct interfacing with low-voltage logic
• 8.5A output current delivers high drive capability for power MOSFETs
• 5V maximum supply supports common low-voltage power domains
• 20ns fall time ensures Rapid turn-off for switching efficiency
• PG-DSO-16 package simplifies PCB placement and thermal path
• -40 to 150°C operating range permits use in harsh industrial environments

• Suitable for driving MOSFETs in low-voltage converters
• Ideal for high-current gate drive in motor controllers
• Used with discrete power stages in industrial inverters
• Can be used for fast switching in electronic power supplies
• Suitable for thermally stressed environments requiring high-temperature tolerance

It requires a supply no lower than 3.3V and must not exceed 5V.

The outputs can source or sink up to 8.5A to charge and discharge gate capacitances.

The device provides a fall time of 20ns, enabling fast turn-off transitions.

It is supplied in a PG-DSO-16 package, which defines pin count and land pattern.
