IXA531
Preliminary Data Sheet
500mA 3-Phase Bridge Driver
Features
General Description
• Fully operational to +650V
• Tolerant of negative transient voltages
• dV/dt immune (50V/ns)
TheIXA531isamonolithic, 3-phase, MOSFET/IGBT
gate driver consisting of three independent, high and low
side output channels. In addition to the six inputs,
which are CMOS/TTL Compatible, for the three
corresponding high side and three low side outputs,
there are dedicated lines for FAULT, ENABLE and
RESET. Overload/Short Circuit protection is
implemented by sensing a voltage across a shunt or low
value resistor which carries load current. Upon
Overload/Short Circuit detection, all outputs are
disabled. Likewise ENABLE (EN) pin, when LOW under
abnormal operating conditions, affords soft shut down of
outputs. FAULT(FLT) signal‘s status indicates that shut
down has occurred either due to Overload/Short Circuit
in driven MOSFET/IGBT or Under Voltage on VCL.

• Latch-up protected over entire operating range
• Fault-current shutdown for all drive outputs
• User selectable delay or latching function for
clearing of the FAULT signal, independent
user controlled clearing of the FAULT signal
is also available
• UVLO protection for all drive outputs
• Enable signal capable of disabling all driver outputs
• 3 half-bridge driver pairs (independent)
• 3.3V logic compatible
• Cross-conduction prevention logic,
220 ns - 360ns Phase leg deadtime
• Peak output current: 600mA Pull-up/Source,
600mA Pull-down/Sink
programmed delay using an RC Network wired at RST

frequencies. Absence of cross conduction in output
stages removes possibility of shoot through in driven
powerMOSFETsorIGBTs.
