NSI6601MC-DSWVR

NOVOSENSE · Isolators - Gate Drivers · SOP-8

NSI6601MC-DSWVR from NOVOSENSE, in a SOP-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 VCC1 power_in Input-side supply rail. Recommended 3-17V referenced to GND1. Bypass with 1uF ceramic to GND1. Has UVLO (rising ~2.9V, falling ~2.78V typ).
2 IN+ input Non-inverting logic input. Drives OUT high when asserted. Internal pull-down to GND1 (input current ~55-70uA when tied to VCC1). Logic thresholds ~0.55xVCC1 (H) / 0.45xVCC1 (L).
3 IN- input Inverting logic input. OUT stays low when this input is high. Internal pull-up to VCC1 (input current ~-55 to -70uA when tied to GND1). Same logic thresholds as IN+.
4 GND1 power_in Input-side ground reference for VCC1 and IN+/IN- logic signals. Isolated from VEE2 by the SiO2 barrier.
5 VCC2 power_in Positive driver-side supply rail. Recommended 13-32V (NSI6601MC 12V UVLO version) referenced to VEE2. Bypass with 10uF from VCC2 to VEE2. UVLO rising ~12.2V, falling ~11.2V typ.
6 OUT output Gate driver output. Delivers 5A peak source/sink to drive IGBT/MOSFET/SiC gates. Rail-to-rail between VCC2 and VEE2 (VOH ~140mV below VCC2 at -50mA, VOL ~30mV above VEE2 at 50mA).
7 CLAMP input Active Miller-Clamp input. Connect to the power switch gate to sink Miller current directly to VEE2 during off-state, preventing parasitic turn-on.
8 VEE2 power_in Driver-side ground/negative supply reference for VCC2, OUT, and CLAMP. Can be tied to power-stage source/emitter or biased negative for enhanced off-state margin.
