GD3162 gate driver

Hi NXP,
Please clarify the difference between DESAT_LED (Leading edge blanking time and DESAT filter time). Is it so that the DESA_LEB refers to the programmable time after which Vds will be on?

Hi Akshat,

DESAT_LEB (Leading Edge Blanking Time) - This is the initial delay after the gate driver turns ON the power device, during which DESAT detection is ignored to prevent false triggering from transient spikes. The purpose is, when an IGBT or SiC MOSFET turns ON, there is a natural transient period where VCE/VDS momentarily spikes due to switching dynamics. DESAT_LEB prevents the gate driver from falsely detecting a desaturation event during this period. Think of DESAT_LEB as a "safe startup window" where DESAT protection is temporarily disabled to avoid false faults.

DESAT Filter Time - This is the additional delay after DESAT_LEB before a DESAT fault is actually triggered. Even after DESAT_LEB ends, noise or transient overshoots may cause momentary high VCE/VDS readings. The DESAT filter time ensures that only sustained high VCE/VDS triggers a DESAT fault. Think of DESAT filter time as a "confirmation delay" to ensure only real desaturation events trigger a fault.

BRs, Tomas
