As high-power MOSFETs present a significant load to their associated gate drive circuit, efficient operation requires the proper drive. One requirement for the gate driver in high frequency ...

Power MOSFET’s development was partly driven by the limitations of bipolar junction transistors (BJTs). Today, this device has been the choice in power electronics applications. In this application ...

Microcontrollers increasingly include pulse-width modulators which will happily drive the gate of a mosfet if switching speed is not an issue. But when a bit more performance is required, or n-channel ...

Zetex Semiconductors has introduced a series of miniature NPN and PNP transistors for MOSFET gate driving in latest generation power supplies. ZXTN and ZXTP transistors The first bipolars to be ...

A University at Buffalo team has proposed a new form of power MOSFET transistor that can handle incredibly high voltages with minimal thickness, heralding an efficiency increase in the power ...

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, ...
