Epcos manufactures B82804A series of Gate Drive Transformers which are used for a galvanic isolation and gate-driving circuits to MOSFETs and IGBTs operating at switch frequencies within a range of 150KHz through several MHz.
Applications of such components include half- and full-bridge converters as well as in frequency converters or inverters.
Components are produced using a miniaturized EP5 core. The dimensions of the transformers are 8.1 x 6.7 x 5.4 mm, resulting in a significant space savings on the circuit board. EPCOS B82804A Series Gate Drive Transformers offer low stray inductances and parasitic capacitances between winding are only 25 to 95 pF. Short-term dielectric strength is tested to 1500 VDC for all types in the B82804A Series Gate Drive Transformers are designed for ambient temperatures of up to 85 °C and operating temperatures of up to 125°C.
