Thanks! Would I be able to put an optocoupler in between the driver voltage supply and the driver to create a floating supply, thereby avoiding the need for a bootstrap circuit?
Hmm, I was of the understanding that this driver would be able to provide the floating and isolation by itself. The data sheet states "The operation of an Si823x channel is analogous to that of an optocoupler and gate driver"; doesn't this mean that the driver channel automagically floats or did...
L.S.,
Just a quick verification for a software guy who tries to build a 1 kV H-bridge: if I want to switch a **broken link removed** at the high side of my H-bridge, would it suffice to use an isolated gate driver, like the Silicon Labs SI8238AD-C-IS? This would cause the gate-source voltage...
