The NCP5106BA36WGEVB is a 36W ballast evaluation board featuring NCP5106B high voltage gate driver. The NCP5106B is a high voltage power MOSFET driver providing two outputs for direct drive of 2 N channel power MOSFETs arranged in a half bridge configuration with a cross conduction protection between the 2 channels. It uses the bootstrap technique to insure a proper drive of the high side power switch. The driver works with 2 independent inputs to accommodate any topology (including half bridge, asymmetrical half bridge, active clamp and full bridge).
