Gate Drivers for Power MOSFETs and IGBTs

Comprehensive Gate Driver Configurations to Support Your Next Application Design


A gate driver is a type of power amplifier that accepts a low-power input from a controller IC and produces a high-current drive input for the gate of a high-power transistor such as an Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) or power MOSFET. Gate drivers are beneficial to MOSFET operation because the high-current drive provided to the MOSFET gate decreases the switching time between the gate ON/OFF stages, which leads to increased MOSFET power and thermal efficiency.

Our diverse array of gate drivers supports applications ranging from DC/DC power supplies to a host of motor applications while promoting high design flexibility, system efficiency and robust operation.

Fast and Safe Switching With Our 600V Gate Drivers

Our 600V, versatile gate drivers are an excellent choice for a wide variety of applications, including stepper motors, compressors, pump motors, motor drives for small low-current motors, DC-DC converters, industrial inverters and renewable energy systems.
