A mosfet 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.
High side mosfet driver.
The max1614 drives high side n channel power mosfets to provide battery power switching functions in portable equipment.
Fast 60v high side n channel mosfet driver provides 100 duty cycle capability sep 7 2017 milpitas ca and norwood ma analog devices inc which recently acquired linear technology corporation announces the ltc7004 a high speed high side n channel mosfet driver that operates up to a 60v supply voltage.
Mosfet 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.
The device is internally protected from an overload condition by an active current limit and thermal shutdown.
Mark as favorite the ncv8460a is a fully protected high side driver that can be used to switch a wide variety of loads such as bulbs solenoids and other accuators.
The n channel power mosfets typically have one third the on resistance of p channel mosfets of similar size and cost.
High side drivers could be automotive gate drivers gan eicedriver gate driver ics galvanic isolated gate driver 500 700v level shift gate driver eicedriver 1ed compact and µhvic gate driver ics.
The high side drivers come with high side referenced output channels to control power devices like mosfets and igbts.
An internal micropower regulator and charge pump generate the high side drive output voltage while requiring no external components.
