Hello - what is TI's process for determining whether to build variants of an existing product. For example, if one were interested in a particular solution but for higher voltage and/or higher current levels?

Thanks,

Sam

Hi Shemuel,

What voltage and current levels do you want? Perhaps there is already a similar device, but not pin to pin compatible.

With respect to building variants, this depends on the request.

The full Hbridge design with ability to PWM at 500 KHz are key features for us. Minimum voltage we are interested in: 100VDC. Ideal voltage: 600 VDC. We would need the same peak current levels - 24 peak sine. There are requirements out there for 900 VDC and 70 Amps peak sine - such a device would check all our boxes.

Hi Shemuel,

We do not have an integrated device that can achieve these levels of current and voltage.

May I suggest you consider half bridge gate drivers and external FETs? The high voltage half bridge gate drivers can be found here: www.ti.com/.../featured-products.html

With the gate drivers, you can choose the FETs/IGBT that fit your needs.
