Infineon Technologies 1200 V half-bridge gate driver

The EiceDRIVER™ SOI family is receiving the addition of the first 1200 V SOI half bridge configuration products for high power applications such as commercial HVAC, heat pump, servo drives, industrial inverter, pumps and fans (up to 10 KW). This 2ED132x series has 4 products in 2 different packages: DSO-16 and DSO-20, both in 300 mil wide-body packages. They are perfect fit for IGBTs but also for 1200 V SiC MOSFETs. Infineon SOI technology provides excellent ruggedness and noise immunity against negative transient voltages on the VS pin (SOI by definition does not have a parasitic thyristor structure).
