The 16SCT001E is a high-voltage (1200V max) direct coupled MOSFET / IGBT gate driver typically used in systems requiring the ability to control the conduction state of a high-voltage (HV) MOSFET / IGBT switch. The chip has built-in circuitry to drive the MOSFET / IGBT gate above the HV supply to ensure that the transistor is adequately saturated.
