RS8802
Dual 5A High-Speed, Low-Side Gate Driver
1 FEATURES
3 DESCRIPTIONS
Industry-Standard Pinout
The RS8802 dual-channel, high-speed, low-side gate
driver device is capable of effectively driving MOSFET
and IGBT power switches. Using a design that
inherently minimizes shoot-through current, the
RS8802 is capable of sourcing and sinking high peak-
current pulses into capacitive loads offering rail-to-rail
drive capability and extremely small propagation delay
typically 13ns.
Two Independent Gate-Drive Channels
5A Peak Source and Sink-Drive Current
TTL and CMOS Compatible Logic Threshold

VDD Pin Bias Supply Voltage
The RS8802 device is capable of handling -4V at input.
In addition, the drivers feature matched internal
4.5V to 18V Single-Supply Range
Outputs Held Low During VDD-UVLO, (Ensures propagation delays between the two channels, these

delays are very well suited for applications requiring
dual-gate drives with critical timing, such as
synchronous rectifiers. This also enables connecting
two channels in parallel to effectively increase current-
drive capability or driving two switches in parallel with
one input signal.
Fast Propagation Delays (13ns Typical)
Fast Rise and Fall Times (7ns and 6ns Typical)
Two Outputs are in Parallel for Higher Drive

Outputs Held Low When Inputs Floating
Operating Temperature Range of –40°C to
140°C
The RS8802 provides 5A source and 5A sink
(symmetrical drive) peak-drive current capability at
VDD = 12V.
Micro SIZE PACKAGES: SOIC-8(SOP8)
The RS8802 is designed to operate over a wide VDD
range of 4.5 V to 18 V and wide temperature range of
-40°C to 140°C. Internal Undervoltage Lockout
(UVLO) circuitry on VDD pin holds output low outside
VDD operating range. The capability to operate at low
voltage levels such as below 5V, along with best-in-
class switching characteristics, is especially suited for
driving emerging wide band-gap power-switching
devices as GaN power semiconductor devices.
