How do you know if a resistor is correctly restricting the flow of electricity? Using a multimeter is an obvious answer. However, there is more to it than meets the eye. This article will explain what ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
