Drivers cut the cost of motor control
Half-bridge, high-side and low-side driver ICs are tailored for low- and mid-voltage motor drive applications.
International Rectifier has introduced a series of 200V ICs for low- and mid-voltage motor drive applications including power tools, low-voltage servo drives, electric garden equipment, and electric vehicles such as cranes, golf carts and scooters The IRS200x family of half-bridge, high-side and low-side driver ICs is tailored for low-voltage (24, 36 and 48V) and mid-voltage (60, 80 and 100V) motor drive applications including both three-phase inverter and half-bridge

MOSFETs improve 12V-input converter efficiency
Two new 20V HEXFET power MOSFET families from International Rectifier are designed to increase efficiency by up to 4% in 12V-input DC/DC convertors.
Undervoltage lockout (UVLO) protection is a standard feature provided across the family, and the IRS2003 and IRS2004 also include deadtime protection.
In addition, the IRS2004 features a shutdown input pin.
These new 200V ICs feature low quiescent current that enables a low-cost bootstrap power supply for the high-side circuitry, eliminating the need for large and expensive auxiliary power supplies that discrete optocoupler- or transformer-based designs typically require, making them well suited for low-voltage applications that require a small footprint.
The IRS200x devices are offered in eight-pin SOIC and DIP packages and feature gate voltage up to 20V, typical turn-on current of 290mA, typical turn-off current of 600mA, and accept input logic levels of 3.3, 5 and 15V.
The new 200V devices use IR's advanced high-voltage IC process which incorporates next-generation high-voltage level-shifting and termination technology to deliver superior electrical overstress protection and higher field reliability.
