Product details
Overview
ZXGD3004E6TA from Diodes Incorporated is a high-speed, non-inverting single-channel gate driver IC designed to rapidly charge and discharge MOSFET/IGBT gates in high-current switching circuits. It delivers up to 8A peak source/sink current, features 1ns propagation delay, 14ns rise/fall time (1500pF load), and operates from a 40V supply enabling ±20V/–18V gate drive for dV/dt immunity - deployed in solar inverters and motor control stages.
For engineers reviewing the ZXGD3004E6TA datasheet, ZXGD3004E6TA pinout, ZXGD3004E6TA application, or ZXGD3004E6TA equivalent, key selection criteria include peak gate current capability, propagation delay vs. load capacitance, VCC–VEE rail tolerance, input-to-output gain linearity, and AEC-Q101 qualification status for automotive-adjacent power systems.
Technical Context
The ZXGD3004E6TA uses a rugged emitter-follower output stage with dual-input logic (IN1/IN2) that can be paralleled for enhanced drive strength. Its architecture supports independent turn-on/turn-off tailoring via external gate resistors to suppress EMI and prevent shoot-through in half-bridge configurations.
It operates across –55°C to +150°C with near-zero quiescent current (50nA typical), and its 40V VCC–VEE rating enables robust gate biasing - including negative VEE for high-side IGBTs - while maintaining latch-up immunity under transient overvoltage conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC–VEE Supply Range | 40V max; supports ±20V gate drive to prevent dV/dt false triggering in high dv/dt environments |
| Peak Output Current | ±8A; sufficient to drive large gate capacitances (e.g., >5nF) at sub-100ns switching intervals |
| Propagation Delay | 1ns; enables precise timing alignment in synchronous rectification and multi-phase PWM controllers |
| Rise/Fall Time | 14ns @ 1500pF; ensures fast edge rates without excessive ringing when layout parasitics are minimized |
| Input Gain | 1.9A output per 10mA input; allows direct interface with low-power MCU GPIOs without level-shifting buffers |
| Quiescent Current | 50nA typical; eliminates standby power penalty in always-on power management subsystems |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT26 - surface-mount, 6-pin molded plastic case with matte tin-plated leads, moisture sensitivity level 1, weight 0.018g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Positive supply rail | High-side driver supply reference; must be decoupled locally to sustain 8A pulsed current |
| VEE | Negative supply rail | Low-side return; enables negative gate bias for high-side IGBTs and shoot-through prevention |
| IN1 / IN2 | Digital input terminals | CMOS-compatible inputs; typically tied together to double input drive strength and noise immunity |
| SOURCE | Emitter-follower output (source) | Active-high gate drive path; connects directly to MOSFET/IGBT gate for rapid charging |
| SINK | Emitter-follower output (sink) | Active-low gate drive path; connects directly to gate for rapid discharging; often paralleled with SOURCE |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-gain buffer stage | Delivers 1.9A gate current from only 10mA controller input - reduces upstream driver complexity |
| Optimized pin-out | Minimizes PCB trace inductance between SOURCE/SINK and gate node - critical for EMI control in >100kHz converters |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability (–55°C to +150°C, HBM 4kV) - suitable for under-hood power modules |
| Rugged emitter-follower | Immune to latch-up and shoot-through during cross-conduction events - improves system fault tolerance |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar gate driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXDN604PI | 4A peak output, TO-220 package, no AEC-Q101 rating | Limited to industrial SMPS; lacks automotive qualification and SOT26 space savings | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-automotive 100–500W AC-DC designs where thermal mass outweighs footprint constraints |
| UCC27524DSDR | 5A peak, dual-channel, 12V VDD max, no negative VEE support | Requires external level shifters for high-side IGBT drive; unsuitable for –18V gate bias | Prefer for dual-MOSFET half-bridges in low-voltage (<40V bus) DC-DC where channel count matters more than rail flexibility |
Compared with IXDN604PI and UCC27524DSDR, the ZXGD3004E6TA uniquely combines 8A peak drive, 40V VCC–VEE operation, AEC-Q101 qualification, and SOT26 footprint - making it optimal for compact, high-reliability, high-dv/dt gate drive in solar, motor, and automotive power stages.

FAQ
Can ZXGD3004E6TA drive both N-channel MOSFETs and IGBTs?
Yes. Its ±8A peak output current, 40V VCC–VEE rating, and emitter-follower topology support direct gate drive of both N-channel MOSFETs and NPT/FS IGBTs. The ability to apply negative VEE (down to –18V) ensures reliable turn-off of IGBTs by overcoming Miller capacitance effects, and its 1ns propagation delay maintains timing fidelity across device types.
What is the recommended gate resistor value when using ZXGD3004E6TA?
No fixed resistor is mandated, but external gate resistors (typically 2–10Ω) are used to tailor rise/fall times and suppress ringing. With 14ns edge times into 1500pF, a 4.7Ω resistor balances speed and EMI control. For IGBTs requiring slower turn-off to avoid voltage overshoot, higher values (e.g., 15–22Ω in sink path only) are applied per application-specific SOA analysis.
Does ZXGD3004E6TA require decoupling capacitors on VCC and VEE?
Yes. A minimum 100nF ceramic capacitor must be placed within 2mm of each supply pin (VCC and VEE) to handle 8A pulsed current transients. For high-reliability designs, add a 1–10µF tantalum or polymer capacitor in parallel to maintain rail stability during repetitive switching bursts at >100kHz.
Is ZXGD3004E6TA pin-compatible with ZXGD3004E6Q?
Yes. Both share identical SOT26 pinout, electrical specifications, and thermal characteristics. The ZXGD3004E6Q is the AEC-Q101 qualified variant with additional automotive test reporting and traceability - fully interchangeable in layout and circuit design, differing only in qualification documentation and reel marking.
