Active production gate driver with 5000Vrms isolation
The FOD8342TR2: It delivers 3A peak output current across a 10V to 30V output supply range, making it a direct fit for driving medium-power IGBTs and MOSFETs in motor drives, inverters, and industrial power supplies. Rated for 5000Vrms isolation with a minimum common-mode transient immunity of 20kV/µs, this part handles the fast voltage swings common in motor-drive and solar-inverter environments without false triggering.
Switching performance and drive strength
Typical rise/fall times of 38ns and 24ns with a maximum propagation delay of 210ns and pulse-width distortion capped at 65ns keep switching losses predictable and dead-time budgets tight. The symmetrical 2.5A high/low output drive matches the 3A peak rating — the part can source and sink the same current, which simplifies gate-drive resistor selection for turn-on and turn-off.
Package, temperature range, and compliance
Housed in a 6-SOP (6-SOIC, 6.80mm width) surface-mount package, the FOD8342TR2 operates from -40°C to 100°C, covering industrial and outdoor telecom enclosures. It is ROHS3 compliant and carries UR agency approval. No functional difference; the TR2 is the pick-and-place friendly variant.
