Engineers often use a gate driver or “pre-driver” IC along with N-channel power MOSFETs to provide the high current needed to drive motors. It’s important to account for all the design considerations ...

For IGBTs, the on-state voltage drop is a critical specification to consider. This drop includes both the diode drop across ...

Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. To determine the gate drive circuit requirements, and how they differ from traditional silicon MOSFET drivers, it is ...

While attending APEC 2019, it seemed that gallium-nitride (GaN) transistors were just coming into their own in high-volume applications, while silicon-carbide (SiC) transistors have found wide ...

Despite massive, large-scale integration being ubiquitous in contemporary electronic design, discrete MOSFETs in the classic CMOS totem pole topology are still sometimes indispensable. This makes tips ...
