Product details
Overview
2EDN8523FXTMA1 from Infineon Technologies is a dual-channel, inverting, 8 V UVLO gate driver IC for high-speed MOSFET and GaN power devices, delivering 5 A source/sink per channel, 17 ns propagation delay, 1 ns channel-to-channel matching, and rail-to-rail output stage (0.7 Ω high-side / 0.55 Ω low-side) in PG-DSO-8 package - deployed in server SMPS and LLC resonant converters.
For engineers reviewing the 2EDN8523FXTMA1 datasheet, 2EDN8523FXTMA1 pinout, 2EDN8523FXTMA1 application, or 2EDN8523FXTMA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include UVLO threshold (8 V), inverting logic configuration, -10 V input robustness, reverse current tolerance (5 A), and compatibility with OptiMOS™/CoolMOS™/GaN devices in high-density power stages.
Technical Context
This driver implements independent dual-channel control with LV-TTL/CMOS 3.3 V compatible inputs (-5 V to +20 V range), enabling direct microcontroller interfacing without level-shifting. Each channel features dedicated enable (ENA/ENB) and input (INA/INB) pins, with UVLO monitoring on VDD only.
The architecture supports parallel channel operation via <1 ns inter-channel delay matching and includes true rail-to-rail output stages with 0.7 Ω pull-up and 0.55 Ω pull-down resistance, ensuring fast switching of logic-level and standard-level MOSFETs across 4.5–20 V supply range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | ±5 A per channel - enables direct drive of high-Qg GaN FETs and Superjunction MOSFETs without external buffers. |
| Propagation Delay | 17 ns typ. - supports >1 MHz switching in ZVS and LLC topologies with tight timing margins. |
| Channel Matching | 1 ns typ. - allows safe paralleling of both outputs for 10 A combined sink/source capability. |
| UVLO Threshold | 8 V - provides higher turn-on margin than 4.2 V variants, improving reliability during brown-out conditions. |
| Input Voltage Range | -5 V to +20 V - withstands -10 V transient on control pins, eliminating latch-up risk in pulse-transformer-driven systems. |
| Supply Range | 4.5 V to 20 V - accommodates wide-input industrial and telecom SMPS rails including 12 V and 15 V bias supplies. |
| Output Resistance | 0.7 Ω (high-side), 0.55 Ω (low-side) - minimizes conduction loss and improves rise/fall time consistency. |
Pinout & Package
2EDN8523FXTMA1 is housed in PG-DSO-8 (SOIC-8 wide-body) package with exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected). Pin 1 is ENA; pin 3 is GND; pin 6 is VDD; pin 7 is OUTA; pin 5 is OUTB; pin 8 is ENB; pins 2 and 4 are INA and INB respectively - fully compatible with industry-standard SOIC-8 gate driver footprints.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 ENA | Enable input, Channel A | Active-high logic control: low forces OUTA low regardless of INA state; open = enabled. |
| 2 INA | Inverting input, Channel A | Logic inversion: high input → low output; supports direct MCU GPIO connection (3.3 V LV-TTL). |
| 3 GND | Power and signal reference | Common return path for VDD, inputs, and outputs; must be low-inductance PCB connection. |
| 4 INB | Inverting input, Channel B | Independent inverted logic control for second output; identical timing and voltage specs as INA. |
| 5 OUTB | Driver output, Channel B | Low-impedance push-pull stage capable of ±5 A; connects directly to gate of power device. |
| 6 VDD | Positive supply input | 4.5–20 V rail powering internal circuitry and output stage; monitored for 8 V UVLO activation. |
| 7 OUTA | Driver output, Channel A | Matched performance to OUTB: same drive strength, delay, and robustness; supports paralleling. |
| 8 ENB | Enable input, Channel B | Independent enable for OUTB; decouples channel control for phase-shifted or fault-isolated operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5 A reverse current robustness | Eliminates need for external Schottky diodes at outputs, reducing BOM count and layout area in synchronous rectification. |
| 1 ns channel-to-channel delay matching | Enables precise parallel operation of both channels for 10 A total drive without skew-induced shoot-through risk. |
| -10 V input pin ruggedness | Prevents latch-up during ground bounce or transformer-coupled gate drive transients, enhancing system-level EMI resilience. |
| 8 V UVLO with fast release | Guarantees MOSFET/GaN turn-off before supply collapse, independent of system supervisor timing - critical for overvoltage safety. |
| Industry-standard SOIC-8 pinout | Allows drop-in replacement of legacy drivers (e.g., IR2110 derivatives) without PCB redesign or footprint adaptation. |
Applications
| Server SMPS | Telecom DC-DC Converters |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel gate driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2EDN7523FXTMA1 | 4.2 V UVLO threshold instead of 8 V; otherwise identical pinout, timing, and drive strength. | Better suited for low-voltage bias rails (e.g., 5 V auxiliary supplies) where earlier turn-off is required. | Select when system brown-out behavior demands faster disable below 5 V - not for 12 V+ bias rails. |
| UCC27524D | Non-inverting logic, 4 A peak output, 13 ns delay, no -10 V input rating, 5 V–18 V supply range. | Limited to lower-power applications (<1 kW); lacks reverse current robustness and UVLO flexibility. | Choose only for cost-sensitive, non-GaN, ≤400 kHz designs where input ruggedness and paralleling are not required. |
Compared with 2EDN7523FXTMA1, the 8 V UVLO offers superior hold-up during line sags; versus UCC27524D, it delivers higher drive strength, tighter timing, and enhanced system-level fault resilience - making it optimal for GaN-based high-density SMPS.

FAQ
Is 2EDN8523FXTMA1 pin-compatible with non-inverting variants like 2EDN8524FXTMA1?
Yes - all 2EDN852x variants share identical PG-DSO-8 pinout and package dimensions. Only logic behavior differs: 2EDN8523F uses inverting inputs (INA/INB high → OUTA/OUTB low), while 2EDN8524F uses direct logic. No PCB change is needed for substitution.
What is the maximum recommended gate resistor value for driving 100 mΩ GaN FETs at 1 MHz?
Based on 5 A peak output and 17 ns propagation delay, Rg should not exceed 2.2 Ω for 100 mΩ GaN devices at 1 MHz to maintain <10 ns rise/fall times and avoid excessive overshoot. Lower values (0.5–1.5 Ω) are preferred for optimal EMI and switching loss balance.
Does the 8 V UVLO apply to both channels independently or to the entire IC?
The 8 V UVLO monitors the single VDD supply pin and disables both output channels simultaneously when VDD drops below threshold. There is no per-channel UVLO - ENA/ENB remain functional but force outputs low during UVLO activation.
Can OUTA and OUTB be paralleled for single-output 10 A drive without external components?
Yes - due to 1 ns typical channel-to-channel propagation delay matching and matched output impedance (0.7 Ω / 0.55 Ω), both outputs can be directly paralleled with shared gate resistor and no balancing components, provided identical PCB trace lengths and thermal layout.
