Coil drivers from Fairchild for Ignition systems

Fairchild Semiconductor has introduced the latest generation of ignition IGBTs that provide reduced power dissipation in a smaller footprint. The EcoSPARK 2, FGD3040G2 and FDG3440G2 ignition coil drivers, deliver up to 20 percent reduction VSAT performance without a significant reduction of Self Clamping Inductive Switching (SCIS) energy. This optimized feature reduces power dissipation, lowers heat sink requirements and operating junction temperatures.

These coil drivers are useful to meet the demanding emissions and high fuel efficiency requirements in the ignition systems.

The EcoSPARK 2 ignition coil driver is also available in a DPAK, allowing for a D2PAK replacement solution that reduces form factor while achieving the same VSAT. Both devices support advanced multi-spark high-current ignition systems with lean burn requirements.

Features:
a. SCIS Energy: FGD3440G2 = 335mJ at TJ = 25oC, FGD3040G2 = 300mJ at TJ = 25oC
b. Logic level gate drive
c. Qualified to AEC Q101
d. RoHS compliant

The price of FGD3040G2 is $1.10 and FDG3440G2 is $1.25 in 1,000 quantity pieces. The delivery is made 8-12 weeks ARO.
