Maxim MAX2270x Ultra-High CMTI Isolated Gate Drivers are single-channel isolated gate drivers with ultra-high common-mode transient immunity (CMTI) of 300kV/μs (typ). The devices are designed to drive silicon-carbide (SiC) or gallium-nitride (GaN) transistors in various inverter or motor control applications. All devices have integrated digital galvanic isolation using Maxim’s proprietary process technology. The devices feature variants with output options for gate driver common pin GNDB (MAX22700), Miller clamp (MAX22701), or adjustable under-voltage-lockout UVLO (MAX22702). Also, variants are offered as Differential (D versions) or Single-Ended (E versions) inputs. These devices transfer digital signals between circuits with different power domains. All of the devices feature isolation for a withstand voltage rating of 3kV_RMS for 60 seconds.

Features

Matching propagation delay
- 20ns minimum pulse width
- 35ns propagation delay at room temperature
- 2ns part-to-part propagation delay matching at room temperature
- 5ns part-to-part propagation delay matching over -40°C to +125°C temperature range
Robust galvanic isolation
- Withstands 3kV_RMS for 60s (V_ISO)
- Continuously withstands 848V_RMS (V_IOWM)
- Withstands ±5kV surge between GNDA and V_SSB with 1.2/50μs waveform

Precision UVLO
Options to support a broad range of applications
- 3 Output options: GNDB, Miller Clamp, or Adjustable UVLO
- 2 Input configurations: Single-Ended with Enable (E versions) or Differential (D versions)

All devices support a minimum pulse width of 20ns with a maximum pulse width distortion of 2ns. The part-to-part Propagation Delay is matched within 2ns (max) at +25°C ambient temperature, and 5ns (max) over the -40°C to +125°C operating temperature range. This feature reduces the power transistor’s dead time, thus improving overall efficiency. The MAX22700 and the MAX22702 have a maximum RDSON of 1.25Ω for the low-side driver, and the MAX22701 has an R_DSON of 2.5Ω for the low-side driver. All devices have a maximum R_DSON of 4.5Ω for the high-side driver.

The MAX2270x can be used to drive SiC or GaN FETs with different output gate drive circuitry and B-side supply voltages. All of the devices in the MAX2270x family are available in an 8-pin, narrow-body SOIC package with 4mm of creepage and clearance. The packaging material has a minimum comparative tracking index (CTI) of 600V, which gives it a group I rating in creepage tables. All devices are rated for operation at ambient temperatures of -40°C to +125°C.
