General Description

The CA-IS3211 devices are a family of single-channel, optocompatible isolated gate driver capable of sinking 6A and sourcing 5A currents. These devices operate with dual supplies or a single supply of 10V to 30V (8V UVLO version)  or 14V to 30V (12V UVLO) wide voltage range of VCC - VEE, making them ideal to drive power MOSFET, IGBT or silicon-carbide(SiC) transistors in various inverter, motor control or isolated power supply systems. The CA-IS3211 can be configured as low-side and high-side drivers. The CA-IS3211V_ offers single terminal gate drive output: VOUT and  the CA-IS3211S_ offers dual separate output terminals:  OUTH and OUTL. The driver output is pulled to low state to turn off external power transistors when VCC supply input is either not powered, is open-circuit or is in UVLO.

The CA-IS3211 devices are available either in a 6-pin or 8-pin wide-body SOIC package, and 8-pin SOP package. All devices are rated for operation at junction temperatures of  -40°C to +150°C. Higher operation temperature range extends gate driver designs in industrial and automotive applications.
