UC3708: I need to use a through hole gate driver IC

Hossein Haghnazari

Part Number: UC3708

Hello.

I hope you are doing well. I am designing a prototype for my master's thesis and due to some technical issues I can only use through hole components. I have found UC3708, but unfortunately the technical datasheet does not provide enough information regarding the connection and design requirements and also voltage class. Could you please let me know whether you have a through hole IC for my application?

I want to drive a circuit as shown in following figure:

I need a driver which is able to turn on/off two series N-MOSFTs Q1 and Q2 simultaneously. As you see both the lower and the upper N-MOSFETs have floating ground. Nominal voltage is 400V and the nominal current (ID) is equal to 60A. Could you please help me out to find a proper through hole gate driver IC for this purpose?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, Hossein,

I recommend you research SMT to DIP adapters. This would open our entire portfolio up to your application.

Hello Mr. Dapkus,

Thank you for your help.

I am already familiar with these adaptor. But they do not solve my problem because I don't want to use breadboard. I will solder the components on PCB, because the soldering process of SMD components is challenging, I have to use through hole components.do you know any through hole gate driver proper for my application?

Best regards,

Hossein

Hello Hossein,

Our through hole drivers consist of the following list below which may require dedicated board for soldering.
