ISL71040M

The ISL71040M is a low-side driver designed to drive enhancement mode Gallium Nitride (GaN) FETs in isolated topologies and boost type configurations. The ISL71040M operates with a supply voltage from 4. 5V to 13. 2V and has both inverting (INB) and non-inverting (IN) inputs to satisfy requirements for inverting and non-inverting gate drives with a single device. The ISL71040M has a 4. 5V gate drive voltage (V_DRV) generated using an internal regulator that prevents the gate voltage from exceeding the maximum gate-source rating of enhancement mode GaN FETs. The gate drive voltage features an Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) protection that ignores the inputs (IN/INB) and keeps OUTL turned on to ensure the GaN FET is in an OFF state whenever V_DRV is below the UVLO threshold. The ISL71040M inputs can withstand voltages up to 14. 7V regardless of the V_DD voltage, which allows the inputs to be connected directly to most PWM controllers. The ISL71040M's split outputs offer the flexibility to adjust the turn-on and turn-off speed independently by adding additional impedance to the turn-on and turn-off paths. The ISL71040M operates across the military temperature range from -55°C to +125°C and is offered in an 8 Ld Thin Dual Flat No-Lead (TDFN) plastic package.
