Microchip Half Bridge MOSFET Driver
Half Bridge MOSFET Driver
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. 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. Microchip's diverse array of MOSFET drivers supports a wide range of applications ranging from DC/DC power supplies to a host of motor applications, all while promoting high design flexibility, system efficiency, and robust operation.
