The TPSI3052-Q1 is a fully integrated, isolated switch driver with integrated bias, which when combined with an external power switch, forms a complete isolated solid state relay solution. With a nominal gate drive voltage of 15 V with 1.5/3.0-A peak source and sink current, a large variety of external power switches such as MOSFETs, IGBTs, or SCRs can be chosen to meet a wide range of applications. The TPSI3052-Q1 generates its own secondary bias supply from the power received from its primary side, so no isolated secondary supply bias is required.

The TPSI3052-Q1 supports two modes of operation based on the number of input pins required. In two-wire mode, typically found in driving mechanical relays, controlling the switch requires only two pins and supports a wide voltage range of operation of 6.5 V to 48 V. In three-wire mode, the primary supply of 3 V to 5.5 V is supplied externally, and the switch is controlled through a separate enable. Available in three-wire mode only, the TPSI3052S-Q1 features a one-shot enable for the switch control. This feature is useful for driving SCRs that typically require only one pulse of current to trigger.

The secondary side provides a regulated, floating supply rail of 15 V for driving a large variety of power switches with no need for a secondary bias supply. The TPSI3052-Q1 can support driving single power switch, dual back-to-back, parallel power switches for a variety of AC or DC applications. The TPSI3052-Q1 integrated isolation protection is extremely robust with much higher reliability, lower power consumption, and increased temperature ranges than those found using traditional mechanical relays and optocouplers.

The power dissipation of the TPSI3052-Q1 can be adjusted by an external resistor from the PXFR pin to VSSP. This feature allows for tradeoffs in power dissipation versus power provided on the secondary depending on the needs of the application.
