The document describes the features and characteristics of the IXYS IXDN404 / IXDI404 / IXDF404 products, including the use of CMOS and IXYS HDMOSTM processes, high peak output current, wide operating range, and strong driving capability.
The IXDN404, IXDI404, and IXDF404 are a family of dual 4 A low‑side ultrafast MOSFET drivers from IXYS. IXDN404 provides two non‑inverting outputs, IXDI404 offers two inverting outputs, and IXDF404 combines one inverting and one non‑inverting channel. The devices are supplied in 8‑pin PDIP, 8‑pin SOIC (with or without grounded metal back), and 16‑pin SOIC packages.
Key electrical characteristics include a peak output current of 4 A, rise and fall times under 15 ns into 1800 pF loads, and a wide supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 35 V. The datasheet also provides design recommendations for supply bypassing, grounding, and minimizing output lead inductance to ensure optimal performance in motor control, SMPS, and pulse‑generator applications.
