The L6386D013TR from STMicroelectronics is a high-voltage, half-bridge gate driver IC designed for robust power management applications. This surface-mount device comes in a 14-pin SO package and is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) for automated assembly. With a maximum supply voltage of 17V and 600V bootstrap capability, it is engineered to drive N-channel power MOSFETs or IGBTs in high-side/low-side configurations. The dual-channel, independent driver architecture ensures precise control, while its inverting logic inputs (compatible with 1.5V–3.6V logic levels) simplify interfacing with microcontrollers or PWM controllers.
This gate driver excels in high-performance power systems, including:
The L6386D013TR stands out for its high-voltage capability, fast switching, and robust protection features, making it a preferred choice for demanding power electronics designs. While obsolete, its performance remains competitive in legacy systems requiring reliable half-bridge driving. Engineers should consider alternative STMicroelectronics models for new designs but can leverage this IC’s proven reliability in existing applications.
