Electronic Specifier reports that the drivers support either inverting or non-inverting outputs and are intended for power-system designs using demanding switching devices. The article highlights applications in which multiple MOSFETs or IGBTs are paralleled or driven from tied outputs.
Compared with Littelfuse’s IXD604 gate-driver family, the IXD704 series is described as adding tighter timing precision, further under-voltage lockout protection and a smaller package footprint. Electronic Specifier lists 2 ns typical propagation-delay matching between channels, along with a 9 ns typical rise time, an 8 ns typical fall time and a 50 ns minimum input pulse-width filter.
The report also says the family offers selectable nominal under-voltage lockout thresholds of 12 V and 9 V for xA variants. It describes the 9 V and 12 V options as an addition not available in the IXD604 family, giving designers alternatives for power-system protection requirements.
