The EPC7009L16SH from EPC Space is a Radiation-Hardened GaN Gate Driver Monolithic IC. It requires a DC supply voltage of 16 V and has been designed using EPC’s proprietary eGaN technology. This gate driver IC consists of a 5.25-10 V linear regulator, under-voltage lockout protection, and independent pull-up and pull-down circuits. It supports 3 V logic compatible input, inverting, and non-inverting logical inputs. This gate driver IC is capable of driving over 5000 pF loads and is integrated with a 10 V supply for interface for powering PWM controllers.
The EPC7009L16SH can withstand radiation of up to 1000 krad (Si) for HDR (50-300 rad (Si)/s and 100 krad (Si) for LDR (100 mrads (Si)/s. It is available in a hermetically sealed ceramic QLCC surface mount package that measures 0.228 x 0.183 x 0.085 inches and is ideal for high-reliability space applications such as DC-DC conversion, satellite electrical, power switches/actuators, and motor drivers.
