Infineon has used silicon-on-insulator technology to create a 140V three-phase gate driver for motor drives. Called 6ED2742S01Q, it is designed to drive six external n-channel mosfets using bootstrapping for the upper three, but it unusually includes low-power charge pumps to allow 100% duty cycle high-side operation. For traditional bootstrapped operation, three diodes are monolithically integrated …
