Product details
Overview
1EDN8550BXTSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a single-channel, non-isolated high-side/low-side gate driver IC with truly differential inputs (TDI), ±200 V static common-mode rejection, 4 A source / 8 A sink peak output current, and 45 ns propagation delay (±7/+10 ns accuracy), designed for driving Si, SiC MOSFETs and GaN HEMTs in high-parasitic-inductance half-bridge and Kelvin-source PFC topologies.
For engineers reviewing the 1EDN8550BXTSA1 datasheet, 1EDN8550BXTSA1 pinout, 1EDN8550BXTSA1 application, or 1EDN8550BXTSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include UVLO threshold (8.0 V ON / 7.0 V OFF), TDI input resistor dependency for CMR tuning, rail-to-rail complementary MOS output stage, SOT23-6 package compatibility, and bipolar gate drive capability for fast-switching power stages.
Technical Context
The 1EDN8550BXTSA1 implements a fully differential TDI input stage with passive RC filtering and a 2nd-order internal low-pass filter, achieving 3rd-order total filtering at 12 MHz corner frequency to suppress >100 MHz ringing. Its differential Schmitt trigger and pulse extender reject sub-25 ns noise pulses.
The output stage uses complementary pMOS/nMOS transistors with 0.85 Ω sourcing RON and 0.35 Ω sinking RON, enabling rail-to-rail drive without n-channel voltage drop penalties. Input resistors Rin1/Rin2 are mandatory and determine both static (±200 V max.) and dynamic (±400 V max.) CMR performance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Drive Current | 4 A source / 8 A sink peak - enables fast turn-on/turn-off of low-Rds(on) SiC/GaN devices |
| Propagation Delay | 45 ns (−7/+10 ns accuracy) - supports >10 MHz switching with deterministic timing |
| UVLO Threshold | 8.0 V ON / 7.0 V OFF - prevents partial gate drive during brown-out conditions |
| CMR Static Range | ±200 V (with 127 kΩ input resistors) - allows direct high-side drive in boost PFC with Kelvin-source MOSFETs |
| Input Architecture | Truly Differential Inputs (TDI) - eliminates false triggering from PCB ground bounce or EMI coupling |
| Package | SOT23-6 - enables compact layout in space-constrained SMPS and motor control PCBs |
Pinout & Package
1EDN8550BXTSA1 is housed in a PG-SOT23-6 package (JEDEC TO-236AB), with 0.95 mm pitch, 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm footprint, and exposed thermal pad for enhanced power dissipation in industrial-grade operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 IN− | Negative differential input | Connected via resistor to controller SGND or PWM return; required for CMR configuration and TDI functionality |
| 2 GND | Driver reference ground | Return path for gate drive current and UVLO reference; isolated from controller ground by TDI architecture |
| 3 IN+ | Positive differential input | Connected via resistor to controller PWM output; differential pair with IN− defines logic state under common-mode stress |
| 4 VDD | Positive supply rail | Provides gate drive voltage (typically 12–15 V); powers internal logic and output stage |
| 5 OUT_SRC | Source output terminal | Low-impedance pMOS switch to VDD (0.85 Ω); delivers +4 A for fast MOSFET turn-on |
| 6 OUT_SNK | Sink output terminal | Low-impedance nMOS switch to GND (0.35 Ω); delivers −8 A for fast MOSFET turn-off |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Truly Differential Inputs (TDI) | Enables reliable operation with up to ±200 V DC offset between controller and driver grounds without level shifters |
| Rail-to-Rail Complementary Output Stage | pMOS/nMOS topology eliminates body-diode conduction loss and ensures full VDD-to-GND gate swing |
| Programmable UVLO Threshold | Fixed 8.0 V ON / 7.0 V OFF setting prevents weak drive during supply sag in telecom/server SMPS |
| Sub-25 ns Pulse Rejection | Integrated pulse extender blocks noise spikes shorter than 25 ns, improving immunity in high-dV/dt environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-CMR gate driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1EDN7550UXTSA1 | TSNP-6 package; 4.2 V/3.9 V UVLO; ±200 V static CMR; same TDI architecture | Better thermal performance in high-power density layouts due to smaller thermal resistance (RthJA = 120 K/W vs. 180 K/W) | Select when board space is constrained and thermal management requires lower junction-to-ambient resistance |
| 1EDN9550BXTSA1 | SOT23-6 package; 14.9 V/14.4 V UVLO; identical timing and drive strength | Optimized for 15 V gate drive systems requiring higher UVLO hysteresis to avoid oscillation near rail limits | Select when driving 15 V-rated Si MOSFETs in industrial inverters where supply ripple exceeds 1 Vpp |
Compared with 1EDN7550UXTSA1 and 1EDN9550BXTSA1, the 1EDN8550BXTSA1 provides optimal balance of UVLO margin (8.0 V ON), SOT23-6 manufacturability, and proven field reliability in 12 V gate-drive telecom SMPS, making it the preferred choice for cost-sensitive, high-volume server power designs.

FAQ
What input resistors are required for 1EDN8550BXTSA1 to achieve ±200 V static CMR?
127 kΩ, 0.1% tolerance, 1206-form-factor resistors (Rin1 and Rin2) are required to achieve the full ±200 V static CMR rating. These values ensure the internal input stage operates within its linear range (+6 V/−7 V at IN+/IN−) while meeting absolute maximum ratings (±10 V). Resistor selection must follow Table 16 in the datasheet for matching PWM voltage and creepage requirements.
Can 1EDN8550BXTSA1 drive GaN HEMTs with negative turn-off voltage?
Yes - the complementary MOS output stage supports true rail-to-rail swing, allowing VGS = −5 V to +12 V when VDD = 12 V and GND is referenced appropriately. This enables active negative turn-off for enhancement-mode GaN devices, reducing Miller-induced shoot-through risk without external bias circuitry.
Is 1EDN8550BXTSA1 pin-compatible with other 1EDNx550 variants in SOT23-6?
Yes - all SOT23-6 variants (1EDN7550B, 1EDN8550B, 1EDN6550B, 1EDN9550B) share identical pinout, package dimensions, and thermal pad layout. Only UVLO thresholds differ; no PCB redesign is needed when migrating between them for system-level voltage margin tuning.
Does 1EDN8550BXTSA1 require external bootstrap or isolated supplies for high-side operation?
No - unlike traditional high-side drivers, 1EDN8550BXTSA1 uses TDI architecture to tolerate ±200 V common-mode voltage between controller and driver grounds. It operates from a single low-side VDD supply and does not require floating supplies, bootstrap diodes, or isolated DC-DC converters for high-side configurations.
