Description
AI
This gate driver ensures rapid switching of the MOSFET to minimize power losses and distortion in high current switching applications. It can typically drive 1.5A into the low gate impedance with just 10mA input from a controller. The turn-on and turn-off switching behavior of the MOSFET can be individually tailored to suit an application. By defining the switching characteristics appropriately, EMI and cross conduction can be reduced.
