There are two possible input modes to control the IGBT. At non-inverting mode IN+ controls the driver output

while IN- is set to low. At inverting mode IN- controls the driver output while IN+ is set to high. A minimum input

pulse width is defined to filter occasional glitches.

Driver Outputs

The output driver section uses MOSFETs to provide a rail-to-rail output. This feature permits that tight control

of gate voltage during on-state and short circuit can be maintained as long as the driver’s supply is stable. Due

to the low internal voltage drop, switching behavior of the IGBT is predominantly governed by the gate resistor.

Furthermore, it reduces the power to be dissipated by the driver.
