Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between STDRIVEG212 and STDRIVEG612?
A: The maximum high-side operating voltage differs, with STDRIVEG212 operating up to 220V and STDRIVEG612 up to 600V.
Q: What is the main application of this product?
A: It is optimized for power control applications and motion control applications that require wide power control and hard switching.
Q: What is smartSD (Smart Shutdown)?
A: It is a protection feature that turns off the GaN HEMT when an overcurrent is detected and maintains the off state until the device is sufficiently cooled.
