Customized Development Project of an IGBT Gate Driver for Special Applications

No matter what criterion hinders the use of commercially available gate drivers, you do not have to abandon a perfect solution.

This gate driver was developed in consideration of special climatic conditions and suitable materials with a maximum of functional safety and reliability. The development was carried out according to customer-specific requirements. For example, specific monitoring functions, that are unusual for gate drivers, were integrated. Worthy of special emphasis is the particularly short development time, which only took 9 weeks. Of course, this driver was also developed according to the Saxogy approach avoiding highly integrated components.
