If you are going to use a silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor) in your next development, you will ask yourself: how do I develop the best gate driver for it ...

After discussing the three transistor high-side buck p-mosfet driver (a recognised circuit and not mine) with some of EW’s sage commenters, I wondered once again if I could design something similar ...

This application note covers the topic of calculating gate driver power and thermal dissipation of the gate drive optocoupler IC. Gate drive optocouplers are used to drive, turning-on and off, power ...

When designing a product portfolio with a wide range of voltage and power requirements, finding a single driver design solution to serve the full portfolio can deliver significant savings in time and ...

One common question asked when considering what gate driver to use for an application is: what is the peak current that a driver can deliver? Peak current is one of the most important parameters in ...

The power transistor must be chosen to provide fast response while also withstanding high power dissipation. Several electrical and thermal characteristics must be considered: 1. An array of N current ...

How is peak current defined? A close look at datasheet headlines and how they vary. A case study that compares different drivers and peak currents. One question often comes up when considering what ...
