150V high-side driver IC for automotive applications from IR

IR has introduced the AUIRS2016S, a high-voltage power MOSFET high-side driver with internal Vs-to-GND recharge NMOS. The device's output driver features a 250mA high pulse current buffer stage and the channel can be used to drive an n-channel power MOSFET in the high-side configuration, operating up to 150V above ground. The AUIRS2016S also provides negative voltage spike immunity (-Vs) to protect against catastrophic events during high-current switching and short circuit conditions. The suitable applications are automotive gate drive applications including common injection rails, diesel and gasoline direct injection applications and solenoid drivers.

"The AUIRS2016S is a robust, highly reliable IC designed to meet the rugged performance needs of automotive under-the-hood motor control units, targeting energy-efficient applications such as diesel and gasoline direct fuel injection systems," said Henning Hauenstein, vice president and general manager of IR's Automotive Products Business Unit.
