The issue of providing appropriate gate voltage is addressed by using a gate driver that does the job of a level shifter. The gate capacitor though, cannot change its voltage instantaneously. Thus, a power FET o
The PWM signal drives the fan directly; the drive FET is integrated inside the fan. Reducing the external component count, this approach makes the external circuit much simpler. Since the PWM drive signal is applied directly to the coils of the fan, the fan’s electronics are always powered ...
Themetal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor(MOSFET, MOS-FET, or MOS FET), also known as the metal–oxide–silicon transistor (MOS transistor, or MOS), is a type of insulated-gate field-effect transistor that is fabricated by the controlled oxidation of a semiconductor, typically silico...

The issue of providing appropriate gate voltage is addressed by using a gate driver that does the job of a level shifter. The gate capacitor though, cannot change its voltage instantaneously. Thus, a power FET or IGBT has a non-zero, finite switching interval. During switching, the device ma...
