3 System Approach With UCC23513 and AMC23C11

The UCC23513 is a 4-A source, 5-A sink, 5.7-kVRMS reinforced isolated, opto-compatible single channel gate driver. The AMC23C11 is a fast response, reinforced isolated comparator with adjustable threshold and latch function. Using the two devices together, we can achieve an external DESAT on the compact gate driver and maintain a small circuit form factor with reinforced isolation.
