Overview
The ADUM6132ARWZ is an isolated half-bridge gate driver produced by Analog Devices Inc. This component utilizes Analog Devices' iCoupler technology to provide an isolated high-side driver with an integrated isolated high-side supply. The integrated 275 mW dc-to-dc converter powers the high-side output and any external buffer circuitry, eliminating the need for external supply configurations such as bootstrap circuits. This design ensures true galvanic isolation between the high-side and low-side channels, which is crucial for applications requiring high voltage insulation.
