The HIP4080AIPR3165 is a high voltage, high-speed, quad MOSFET driver designed for driving large capacitive loads such as power MOSFETs in bridge circuits or power inverters. It is manufactured by Intersil, now part of Renesas Electronics Corporation. This device is widely used in various applications, including motor drives, uninterruptable power supplies, and DC-DC converters. Here is an overview of the key features of the HIP4080AIPR3165:
1. Quad Half-Bridge Driver: The IC integrates four independent high-side and low-side drivers, making it suitable for driving both high-side and low-side N-channel MOSFETs in bridge configurations.
2. High Voltage and Current Capability: The HIP4080AIPR3165 operates at high voltages up to 80V, allowing it to handle demanding applications that require high voltage power switching. It can also support peak output currents up to 4A, making it capable of driving large capacitive loads efficiently.
3. Bootstrap Operation: The driver employs a bootstrap technique for the high-side drivers, enabling efficient high-side switching. By using an external bootstrap capacitor, it ensures that the high-side drive remains above the Vcc supply voltage, even when the low-side switch is on
