Microchip Technology Inc., a leading provider of microcontroller, mixed-signal, analog and Flash-IP solutions, today announced the first power MOSFET drivers in a new product family—the MCP14A005X and ...

Engineers often use a gate driver or “pre-driver” IC along with N-channel power MOSFETs to provide the high current needed to drive motors. It’s important to account for all the design considerations ...

This application note presents the MOSFET/IGBT drivers theory and its applications. The document describes an introduction of the MOSFET and IGBT technology, the types of drivers, isolation techniques ...

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 ...

Vishay has released three new high-speed, half-bridge MOSFET driver ICs that provide flexible gate drive levels to optimize efficiency, reduce component count, and minimize expense in high-frequency, ...

Electronic enthusiasts and hobbyists might be interested in a new arrival in the Adafruit online store in the form of the Adafruit MOSFET Driver. Designed to keep Sparky the Blue Smoke Monster at bay ...

Maxim has introduced a high-side FET driver for high power LEDs that, amongst other things, saves designers from tackling SEPIC topologies. Maxim has introduced a high-side FET driver for high power ...

The LTC7000/-1 from Analog Devices, which recently acquired Linear Technology, is a high speed, high side N-channel MOSFET driver that operates up to a 150V supply voltage. An internal charge pump ...

Allegro MicroSystems has unveiled a new three-phase MOSFET driver IC with an integrated low dropout regulator supplying 5 or 3.3V. The A4919 is designed for a wide range of industrial applications. It ...

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 ...

Taiwan's vendors of LCD driver ICs and MOSFET chips are mulling raising their quotes to reflect increased costs resulting from tight capacity at 8-inch or even 12-inch wafer fabs, according to ...
