A4900
High Voltage Three Phase Gate Driver
Description
Features and Benefits
The A4900 is a high-voltage, high-speed, power IGBT or
MOSFET driver providing three independent half-bridge
channels for three-phase applications.
• High voltage 3-phase gate drive
• Floating high-side gate drive to 550 VDC supply
• Tolerant to high voltage slew rates
• Cross-conduction protection with fixed dead time
• 15 V gate drive supply voltage
• TTL compatible logic inputs
• Undervoltage detection
• Overcurrent detection with integrated fault blanking
• Overtemperature shutdown
• Matched propagation delays
A bootstrap capacitor is used to provide the above battery
supply voltage required for N-channel MOSFETs or IGBTs
used as high current switches. Direct control over all six gate
drives in the 3-phase bridge is provided, allowing motors to
be driven with block commutation or sinusoidal excitation.
The power switches are protected from cross-conduction
by integrated crossover control and fixed dead time.
• Detailed fault reporting
Integrated diagnostics provide indication of undervoltage,
overtemperature, and power bridge faults. They can be
configured to protect the power switches under most short
circuitconditions. Detaileddiagnosticsareavailableasaserial
