🌍✨ Practical gate driver considerations for modern switches
Why we’re watching: Modern insulated gate semiconductor switches such as Si- and SiC-MOSFETs and Si-IGBTs are far easier to use than the bipolar junction transistors and GTO (Gate Turn-Off) thyristors of decades past.
A primary reason is that they are all controlled by a voltage applied to a control terminal—the gate—that looks like a capacitor (albeit a non-linear one). 💚
Consequently, the gate only requires current to change states (according to the capacitor equation I = C * [dV / dt]), otherwise these devices act as voltage-controlled current sources, meaning that it’s entirely possible (and quite common, in fact) to dr…
