Full Bridge Mosfet Driver
Full Bridge MOSFET Drivers. Ms office 2003 multilingual user interface pack download. Microchip Technology MIC4606 85V Full Bridge MOSFET Drivers offer adaptive dead time and shoot-through protection. MIC4606's adaptive dead-time circuitry constantly monitors both sides of the full-bridge. Renesas' large portfolio of driver products comprises half-bridge, full-bridge, low-side, and synchronous buck MOSFET drivers. The bridge driver products.
Our portfolio spans a variety of configurations, voltage classes, isolation levels, protection features, and package options. State-of-the-art discrete switch families of and silicon MOSFETs, IGBTs, Gallium Nitride HEMTs, and Silicon Carbide MOSFETs as well as such as Easy, Econo power modules, require tuning of gate drive circuits to take full advantage of their capacity and capabilities. An optimum gate drive configuration is essential for all power switches, whether they are in discrete form or in a power module. Our EiceDRIVER™ gate drivers provide advanced features such as integrated bootstrap diode(BSD), over current protection, shutdown, fault reporting, enable, input filter, OPAMP, DESAT, programmable deadtime, shoot through protection, active miller clamp, active shutdown, separate sink and source outputs, short circuit clamping, soft shutdown, two level turn off, galvanic isolation(functional, basic and reinforced), etc. This might also be of interest for you.
I have a full bridge MOSFET driver driver driving a full bridge. After some experimenting with the circuit prototype i found out that the driver heats up to over 60 °C after a short while of running, which concerned me but it worked fine. However as I decreased impedance across the load (which was originally connected to primary coil of a transformer) the driver started acting in a weird way and i found out that it has blown out. This is already the second driver i destroyed this way and they're expensive as hell, so I need a solution. I think what's causing the driver to blow out is that when I decrease impedance across the load I basically create a short circuit between the driver's bootstrap pin and ground, which kills it. By adding a resistor across the load or the whole bridge and ground, I could easily solve the issue, however I do need low impedance on the load because I need high current (up to 20A). I thought about adding a resistor across the driver's bootstrap line, but I have concerns about it affecting the bootstrapping functionality.
EDIT: I'm actually using IGBTs in place of MOSFETs (specifically IRGPS4067DPBF) Also I'm not posting a layout because the full bridge is not on a PCB but it's simply bridge-soldered to the driver circuit. The full bridge operates at 150 kHz square wave.Both circuit and load voltage is 12v Also here's my circuit schematic: The full bridge is connected as in the driver's datasheet, except the feedback loop and shunt resistor: Here's the control circuit layout: And here's the picture of the bridge. $ begingroup $ Show us a picture, please. There was a recent case (maybe 2-3 weeks ago) of a guy blowing his bridge driver. So I told him to put decoupling caps on the power rail and that solved it. Fast switching of a high current combined with supply wire inductance to create a nasty L*di/dt spike which blew the chips.
