Application Report SLUA618A – March 2017 – Revised October 2018 Fundamentals of MOSFET and IGBT Gate Driver Circuits Laszlo Balogh ABSTRACT The main purpose of this application report is to demonstrate a systematic approach to design high performance gate drive circuits for high speed switching ...
A gate driver IC can be used to deliver the high currents needed for charging the capacitive MOSFET gates. The gate driver in Figure 3 will differentially drive the primary of the pulse transformer, which has two windings on the secondary to drive each gate of a half bridge. An advantage ...
