The FAN73833MX is an integrated high- and low-side gate driver IC component manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor. It is specifically designed for driving MOSFETs and IGBTs in half-bridge and full-bridge configurations, making it suitable for various applications such as motor drives, power supplies, and inverters. Below are key features and an overview of the FAN73833MX:
1. Floating High-Side Gate Driver: The FAN73833MX incorporates a bootstrap operation technique that allows the high-side gate driver to operate efficiently. This feature eliminates the need for a separate power supply for the high-side driver, simplifying the circuitry and reducing costs.
2. Wide Input Voltage Range: The IC can handle input voltage ranging from 10V to 20V, providing flexibility in different design requirements.
3. Robust Output Drivers: The FAN73833MX incorporates robust output drivers that can handle high peak currents of up to 350mA (source) and 500mA (sink). This capability ensures fast and efficient switching of MOSFETs and IGBTs.
4. Matched Propagation Delay: The IC ensures symmetrical delay for both high-side and low-side outputs to prevent shoot-through currents in bridge topologies. This feature improves system efficiency and reliability.
5. Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) Protection: The FAN73833MX includes protection circuitry that prevents the device from operating under low voltage conditions
