1 General description

The GD3162 is an advanced, galvanically isolated, single-channel gate driver designed to drive the latest SiC and IGBT modules for xEV traction inverters. The device does this while enabling space savings and performance improvements through advanced gate-drive functionality.

The GD3162 offers integrated galvanic isolation, a programmable interface via SPI, and advanced

programmable protection features, such as overtemperature, desaturation, and current sense protection. GD3162 with integrated boost capability, can drive most SiC MOSFET and IGBT/SiC module gates directly and is able to shape the gate drive capability in order to improve the power device’s switching performance and reduce voltage stress. The control of the gate strength can be done using either SPI commands or the GS Enable Pins. GS_ENH logic controls the drive strength of the turn on, and GS_ENL controls the drive strength of the turn off. To further

improve performance, these functions are designed to operate independent of each other. Three separate pullup drive strengths and three pulldown drive strengths are made available via trilevel functions on the input pins or commands in SPI. The GD3162 autonomously manages faults and reports power device and gate driver status via the INTB pin. VCE/VDS monitoring, as well as VGE monitoring, can be selected to be output on the INTA/RTRPT pin.

The GD3162 includes self-test and control protection functions for design of high functional safety integrity level systems (ASIL C/D) and meets the stringent requirements of automotive applications, being fully AEC-Q100 grade 1 qualified.
