Properly designing the gate drive circuit for high-voltage MOSFETs is essential to ensure proper performance from the MOSFET one desires. Far too often, engineers find themselves having difficulty in ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. Traction inverters based on silicon insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) have been the go-to technology for electric vehicles (EVs). However, to ...

Just as its name implies, a floating-gate transistor’s driving terminal is electrically isolated from the rest of the device—that is, floating—so there is no direct internal dc path from the input ...

Cordless power tools are becoming the primary choice in both the professional and consumer markets for low-to-medium applications (Fig. 1). Workshop tools include screwdrivers, saws, drills, rotary ...
