Littelfuse Products

Littelfuse offers a comprehensive portfolio of high-performance gate drivers through the IXD series, designed for driving MOSFETs, IGBTs, and SiC-MOSFETs in power electronics applications. The product range includes: (1) IXDD609SI - 9A gate driver with enable function, ideal for small to medium power applications; (2) IXDD614SI - 14A gate driver with enable, perfect for medium-power IGBTs and automotive applications; (3) IXDD630CI - 30A high-current driver for large IGBT modules and high-frequency applications; (4) IXDN609SI - 9A non-inverting driver for basic applications; (5) IXDI609SI - 9A inverting driver for complementary configurations; (6) IXDD604SI - 4A driver for low-power applications. All drivers feature wide 4.5V to 35V operating range, AEC-Q100 automotive qualification (most variants), and ultra-fast switching capabilities.

Browse our gate driver product listings to find the right Littelfuse driver for your application. Contact our FAE team for personalized selection assistance based on your switching device and application requirements.

Selecting the right Littelfuse gate driver involves calculating your required peak gate current based on the switching device's gate charge (Qg) and your target switching time. Use the formula: I_peak = Qg / t_switch, then add 20-30% design margin. For example, an IGBT with Qg = 1500nC requiring 100ns switching time needs 15A peak current, so select a driver with 19-20A capability like the IXDD630CI (30A). Consider these factors: (1) Peak current capability must exceed calculated requirement with margin; (2) AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive applications; (3) Enable function if power management is needed; (4) Inverting vs non-inverting based on control logic; (5) Package thermal performance for high-frequency applications. Our FAE team provides free gate driver selection assistance with detailed analysis.
