Infineon GaN EiceDRIVER™ single-channel isolated gate driver ICs

Drive high voltage gallium nitride (GaN) HEMTs with the most robust and efficient single-channel isolated GaN EiceDRIVER™ IC on the market. 

CoolGaN™ e-mode HEMTs are best driven by Infineon’s EiceDRIVER™ ICs, the 1EDF5673K, 1EDF5673F and 1EDS5663H. They ensure robust and highly efficient high voltage GaN switch operation whilst concurrently minimizing R&D efforts and shortening time-to-market.
