The half-bridge topology is widely used in power converters and motor drives. This is largely due to the half-bridge’s ability to provide efficient synchronous control of a pulse width modulated (PWM) ...
Properly designing the gate drive circuit for high-voltage MOSFETs is essential to ensure proper performance from the MOSFET one desires. Far too often, engineers find themselves having difficulty in ...
Our 1ED44173/5/6 are the new low side gate driver ICs that integrate over-current protection (OCP), FAULT status output and enable function. This high integration level is excellent for the digitally ...
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 ...
Check out our coverage of APEC 2024. This article is part of the TechXchange: Gallium Nitride (GaN). The GaN FET is becoming widely preferred in power systems such as high-frequency DC-DC converters.
