Its bootstrap supply handles up to 600 V on the high side. ## Switching speed and timing margin Typical rise time of 50 ns and fall time of 30 ns place this driver in the hard-switched PWM range. The asymmetric fall time (faster turn-off) is deliberate — it reduces cross-conduction during the dead-time interval in a half-bridge. ## Temperature grade and deployment environment Rated for a junction temperature range of -40 to 150 °C, the L6385ED suits applications where ambient heat is a factor — under-hood automotive electronics, industrial motor drives in non-conditioned cabinets, and outdoor telecom power supplies. The 150 °C junction maximum gives headroom for self-heating from the gate-drive current draw in high-duty-cycle operation. ## Supply and logic interface The device accepts a supply voltage up to 17 V maximum. Logic input thresholds are 1.5 V (VIL) and 3.6 V (VIH), meaning it can interface directly with logic from a microcontroller or DSP without external level translation. The inverting input configuration means the output follows the complement of the input signal — factor that into your PWM polarity design. ## Package and mounting Supplied in an 8-SOIC narrow-body package (3.90 mm width) for surface-mount assembly. The small footprint keeps the gate-drive loop tight when the driver is placed close to the power stage — important for minimizing parasitic inductance in the gate drive path. ## Lifecycle and sourcing posture The L6385ED carries an active lifecycle status with ROHS3 compliance. No last-time-buy or end-of-life notice is in effect, so it remains suitable for both new design-ins and existing production BOMs.","metaTitle":"STMicroelectronics L6385ED Half-Bridge Gate Driver","metaDescription":"L6385ED half-bridge gate driver drives IGBT/N-channel MOSFET. 600V bootstrap, 400/650mA peak output, 50/30ns rise/fall.
