Gate drive ic said to simplify eBike design
International Rectifier has announced the IR3230SPbF, a three phase gate drive ic for eBike inverters.
The new device offers an input range up to 60V (enabling operation from 48V battery systems), a regeneration mode to recharge the battery, and a number of protection features aimed at reducing component count and improving system reliability.
The IR3230SPbF integrates the sensor interface and 120/60° selection capability, eliminating the need for a programmable logic array and simplifying the control scheme. An integrated charge pump enables the removal of three electrolytic capacitors required in a typical system.
The device is available in an SOIC28 package featuring an environmentally friendly, lead free and RoHS compliant bom. A datasheet, qualification standards, Spice Model and design tool are also available.
