ANALOG DEVICES INC. ADuM4221 Isolated Half Bridge Gate Drivers

Analog Devices’ ADuM4221 isolated half-bridge gate driver provides true galvanic isolation between the input and each output and simplifies the implementation of switching power supplies, industrial inverters, and other half-bridge applications. 

The ADuM4221 uses ADI’s iCoupler chip-scale transformer technology to provide 5700VRMS isolation and precise timing. The logic input side accepts CMOS inputs and operates from a 2.5V to 6.5V supply for compatibility with lower voltage systems, while the output supply voltage ranges from 4.5V to 35V. The drivers can output a 4A peak current and have built-in overlap protection as well as adjustable dead time control. 

The ADuM4221 has integrated thermal shutdown and undervoltage lockout protections, and is housed in a wide body SOIC package with increased creepage.
