The L6598BDTR is an IC component designed for high-voltage resonant half-bridge converters used in switch-mode power supplies. It is manufactured by STMicroelectronics and is widely used in various applications that require high-efficiency power conversion. Some key features of the L6598BDTR are:
1. Half-bridge gate driver: The L6598BDTR integrates a high-voltage half-bridge gate driver, allowing it to drive both the high-side and low-side MOSFETs present in a half-bridge converter. This simplifies the design of the power supply circuit and enhances its overall efficiency.
2. Resonant controller: It incorporates a resonant controller circuit that allows the converter to operate at a fixed frequency during continuous conduction mode (CCM) and at a variable frequency during discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). This ensures optimal performance and efficiency across a wide range of load conditions.
3. Adjustable dead time: The L6598BDTR offers the flexibility to adjust the dead time between the high-side and low-side MOSFETs, thus preventing shoot-through current and protecting the power components. This feature helps to optimize the overall efficiency of the power converter by reducing unnecessary power losses.
4. Multi-mode operation: It supports different operating modes, such as burst mode, pulse skipping mode, and phase-shifted mode, offering designers the flexibility to tailor the power supply for specific application requirements
