Infineon introduces the MOTIX three-phase gate driver IC 6ED2742S01Q. What's so special about this chip?

Hi,

Thanks for posting on Infineon Community. Let me introduce this product shortly. 

6ED2742S01Q is a 160 V pre-regulated three phase SOI gate driver with integrated charge pump,
current sense amplifier, over-current protection, and bootstrap diodes.

With following link you can see the technical introduction of this product in detail.

Feel free to ask if you have any further questions about 6ED2742S01Q. Btw, we provide also Chinese service.

Best regards,

Xiangrui

I don't think there is anything "special" about it per se, it is just a neat minimal space requirement integrated solution. 
One thing to be careful with is the bootstrap diode resistance - if it is anything like the 2EDL series, the diode is really slow to charge the bootstrap which (for me, above 15kHz and 95% duty) resulted in hitting the UVLO with a 12V gate supply and the "N" variant. The bootstrap in this and the 2EDL look to be similar resistance.
