The Texas Instruments TPSI3050 and TPSI3050-Q1 are highly integrated reinforced isolated switch drivers, designed for applications that require robust electrical isolation and reliable switch control. These devices are commonly used in automotive systems, industrial automation, and solid-state relays (SSRs). What sets them apart is their ability to drive external power transistors or SCRs with a peak gate drive current of 1.5A (source) and 3.0A (sink). This allows for the control of high-power switches while maintaining electrical safety through reinforced isolation of up to 5kV RMS, making them suitable for systems where electrical isolation and safety are critical.
These switch drivers eliminate the need for an isolated secondary power supply. They generate the secondary bias supply from power received on the primary side. This feature simplifies the design of systems by reducing the need for additional isolated power sources, making these drivers cost-effective and efficient. Additionally, the TPSI3050-Q1 variant is AEC-Q100 qualified, making it ideal for automotive applications where high reliability is required in harsh conditions such as high temperatures ranging from -40°C to +125°C.
The TPSI3050/TPSI3050-Q1 are versatile in their application, supporting both AC and DC switching as well as two-wire and three-wire operational modes, making them adaptable to different system requirements. Another notable feature is the ability to supply up to 50mW of power to external auxiliary circuitry, which further enhances its integration into complex systems. This capability is particularly useful in battery management systems and onboard chargers in electric and hybrid vehicles, where compact and efficient design is crucial.
In terms of functional safety, the TPSI3050/TPSI3050-Q1 are designed with automotive-grade reliability and are capable of supporting safety-related certifications, such as UL 1577 and DIN EN IEC 60747-17. These certifications ensure that the devices meet stringent safety standards for reinforced isolation, making them suitable for applications like factory automation and building automation where safety is paramount. The devices also come with evaluation modules, allowing engineers to easily assess their performance in real-world applications.
