Product Summary

The deic420 is a CMOS high speed high current gate driver specifically designed to drive MOSFETs in Class D and E HF RF applications at up to 45MHz, as well as other applications requiring ultrafast rise and fall times or short minimum pulse widths. The deic420 can source and sink 20A of peak current while producing voltage rise and fall times of less than 4ns, and minimum pulse widths of 8ns. Applications of the deic420 include: Driving RF MOSFETs, Class D or E Switching Amplifier Drivers, Multi MHz Switch Mode Power Supplies (SMPS) , Pulse Generators, Acoustic Transducer Drivers, Pulsed Laser Diode Drivers, DC to DC Converters and Pulse Transformer Driver.
