Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated MAX22700–MAX22702 Isolated Gate Drivers

Analog Devices Inc. MAX22700–MAX22702 Isolated Gate Drivers are a family of single-channel isolated gate drivers with ultra-high common-mode transient immunity (CMTI) of 300kV/μs (typical). The devices are designed to drive silicon-carbide (SiC) or gallium-nitride (GaN) transistors in various inverter or motor control applications. All devices have integrated digital galvanic isolation using Maxim’s proprietary process technology. They feature variants with output options for gate driver common pin GNDB (MAX22700), Miller Clamp (MAX22701), and an adjustable under-voltage-lockout UVLO (MAX22702). Also, variants are offered as differential (D versions) or single-ended (E versions) inputs. These devices transfer digital signals between circuits with different power domains. All of the devices in the family feature isolation for a withstand voltage rating of 3kVRMS for 60 seconds.

All devices support a minimum pulse width of 20ns with a maximum pulse width distortion of 2ns. The part-to-part propagation delay is matched within 2ns (max) at +25°C ambient temperature, and 5ns (max) over the -40°C to +125°C operating temperature range. This feature reduces the power transistor’s dead time, thus improving overall efficiency. The MAX22700 and the MAX22702 have a maximum RDSON of 1.25Ω for the low-side driver, and the MAX22701 has an RDSON of 2.5Ω for the low-side driver. All devices have a maximum RDSON of 4.5Ω for the high-side driver.
