NXP MGD3160AM515EKR2

The GD3160 is an advanced single-channel gate driver designed to drive the latest SiC and IGBT modules for xEV traction inverters, OBC and DC-DC converters. GD3160 offers integrated galvanic isolation, a programmable interface via SPI, and advanced programmable protection features, such as overtemperature, desaturation, and current sense protection. GD3160 capably drives SiC MOSFETs and IGBT gates directly: its high gate current and programmable gate drive voltage features provide high performance switching, low dynamic on-resistance, and rail-to-rail gate voltage control. The GD3160 autonomously manages faults and reports power device and gate driver status via the INTA and INTB pins, and the SPI interface. GD3160 includes self-test, control and protection functions for design of high reliability systems (ASIL C/D) and meets the stringent requirements of automotive applications, being fully AECQ100 grade 1 qualified.
