GD3162 Gate driver - Drive gate current

[Deepali_Kolekar]

Hi NXP,

We have a GD3162 gate driver IC. we are looking to increase drive current strength from 10A to 20 or 30A. How can we do that?

Thanks.

Hi Deepali,

The GD3162 allows dynamic gate drive strength adjustment through either:

1. GS_ENH and GS_ENL pins - please refer to section 11.3.3.2 (Low-voltage domain gate strength control - GS_ENH and GS_ENL Pins) of the GD3162 datasheet for more details.

2. SPI - please refer to section 11.3.3.3 (Low-voltage domain gate strength control via SPI bits) of the GD3162 datasheet for more details.

Please note that the GD3162 full datasheet is classified as a Secure file requiring an NDA.

If your company has not signed the NDA with NXP yet, you can request it from:

If there is a valid NDA in place, you can download the datasheet from:
