Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the IXDI414CI is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Driven Configuration: Low-Side operation only
• Channel Type: Single channel
• Gate Type: IGBT, N-Channel, P-Channel MOSFET compatibility
• Supply Voltage Range: 4.5V ~ 35V
• Peak Output Current: 14A source and sink capability
• Input Type: Inverting configuration
• Package / Case: TO-220-5 through-hole format
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 150°C (TJ)

The IXDI614CI meets all these critical substitution criteria and is classified as an active product, providing continuity for applications currently using the obsolete IXDI414CI.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The IXDI614CI is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete IXDI414CI. Selection of the IXDI614CI is supported by the following factors:

• Product Status: The IXDI614CI is actively manufactured by IXYS Integrated Circuits Division, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.
• Electrical Equivalence: All critical electrical parameters—supply voltage range, peak output current, input type, and operating temperature range—are identical between the two parts.
• Compliance: The IXDI614CI carries ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting current regulatory requirements for new designs and manufacturing.
• Package Compatibility: Both parts use TO-220-5 through-hole packaging with identical pinout and footprint, enabling direct board-level substitution without layout modifications.
• Timing Characteristics: Minor variations in rise and fall time (IXDI614CI: 25ns rise, 18ns fall versus IXDI414CI: 22ns rise, 20ns fall) remain within acceptable tolerances for low-side gate driver applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the IXDI614CI be used as a direct replacement for the IXDI414CI without circuit modifications?

A: Yes. The IXDI614CI is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the IXDI414CI. Both parts share identical supply voltage range (4.5V ~ 35V), peak output current (14A source and sink), inverting input configuration, and TO-220-5 package format. No circuit modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the logic voltage difference (VIH: 4.6V vs 3V)?

A: The IXDI614CI has a slightly lower VIH threshold (3V) compared to the IXDI414CI (4.6V). This difference is within standard logic level tolerances and does not affect compatibility in typical applications where input signals are standard CMOS or TTL levels (0V to 5V).

Q: Are there any timing performance differences between these parts?

A: The IXDI614CI exhibits slightly different rise and fall times (25ns rise, 18ns fall) compared to the IXDI414CI (22ns rise, 20ns fall). These variations are minor and remain within acceptable operating parameters for low-side gate driver applications. Applications with strict timing requirements should verify performance against specific circuit specifications.

Q: Why is the IXDI414CI classified as obsolete?

A: The IXDI414CI has reached end-of-life status. The IXDI614CI serves as the active replacement, offering equivalent functionality with current manufacturing support and regulatory compliance.

Q: Is the IXDI614CI RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The IXDI614CI is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards for electronic components.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes. Both parts use identical TO-220-5 through-hole packaging with the same pinout and footprint. Existing PCB designs require no modifications for component substitution.
