The ZXGD3103N8TC is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the Zetex? range of power management products offered by Diodes Incorporated. This component is specifically designed to provide circuit protection and drive high-side n-channel power MOSFETs for power supply applications. Below are the key features and functions of the ZXGD3103N8TC:
1. Integrated Gate Drive: The IC incorporates a high-side gate driver circuitry that enables efficient switching and control of the power MOSFET. This gate driver facilitates convenient interface with logic-level signals to provide high voltage swings required for driving the n-channel MOSFET.
2. Over-Current Protection (OCP): The ZXGD3103N8TC features an adjustable over-current protection functionality, which allows the user to set a threshold for the maximum current that can flow through the MOSFET. If this threshold is exceeded, the IC quickly shuts off the MOSFET to prevent damage to the circuit.
3. Bootstrapped Low-Side Driver: The IC utilizes a bootstrapping technique to create a high-voltage output for the low-side gate driver. This technique eliminates the need for an additional high-side supply, reducing the bill of materials and simplifying the design.
4. Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO): The IC incorporates an under-voltage lockout circuitry that prevents the power MOSFET from turning on when the supply voltage falls below a certain threshold
