Discrete small-signal MOSFETs still find uses today, and this Design Idea presents two simple examples: an AND gate, and an amplitude modulator. Figure 1 shows a standard two-input AND gate along with ...

Automotive incandescent bulbs have largely given way to more efficient, reliable, stylish, and even safer light emitting diodes (LEDs). LEDs turn on in a fraction of the time and are especially useful ...

Yesterday’s idea for a Cuk converter synchronous rectifier drive (right) seems to work, according to my use of LTspice. Yesterday’s idea for a Cuk converter synchronous rectifier drive (right) seems ...

Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. To determine the gate drive circuit requirements, and how they differ from traditional silicon MOSFET drivers, it is ...

If you are going to use a silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor) in your next development, you will ask yourself: how do I develop the best gate driver for it ...

Using current mirror for current sensing in high current MOSFET applications significantly reduces power loss in current sensing circuit and lowers design cost by replacing expensive high power ...
