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 ...

This post demonstrates a basic design idea for making your own short pulse generator using components which are inexpensive and readily available. You will find many interesting and useful ...

This paper provides details of MOSFET switching action in applications with clamped inductive load, when used as a secondary synchronous rectifier, and driving pulse/gate drive transformers. Potential ...

Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. TYPICAL HIGH-SIDE, n-channel, hot-swap “soft-switch” systems use a charge pump to drive the gate of an external MOSFET ...

Using a MOSFET as a switch is generally pretty simple. Make the gate voltage sufficient with respect to the source and current flows through the channel. However, if you are switching higher voltages, ...

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 ...

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 ...
