The ZXGD3005E6 is a high-speed non-inverting single gate driver
capable of driving up to 10A into a MOSFET or IGBT gate capacitive
load from supply voltages up to 25V. With propagation delay times
down to <10ns and correspondingly rise/fall times of <20ns.
This gate driver ensures rapid switching of the MOSFET or IGBT to
minimize power losses and distortion in high current switching
applications. It is ideally suited to act as a voltage buffer between the
typically high output impedances of a controller IC and the effectively
low impedance on the gate of a power MOSFET or IGBT during
switching. Its low input voltage requirement and high current gain
allows high current driving from low voltage controller ICs.
The ZXGD3005E6 has separate source and sink outputs that enables
the turn-on and turn-off times of the MOSFET or IGBT to be
independently controlled. In addition, the wide supply voltage range
allows full enhancement of the MOSFET or IGBT to minimize on-state
losses and permits +15V to -5V gate drive voltage to prevent dV/dt

induced false triggering of IGBTs. The ZXGD3005E6 has been
designed to be inherently rugged to latch-up and shoot-through
issues. The optimized pin-out SOT26 package eases board layout,
enabling reduced parasitic inductance of traces.
