Gate drivers are electronic circuits that apply correct power
levels to metal-oxide field-effect transistors (MOSFETs)
and insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs). With power-
MOSFETs, gate drivers can be implemented as transformers,
discrete transistors, or dedicated integrated circuits (IC).
They can also be integrated within controller ICs.
Partitioning the gate-drive function of controllers that use
pulse width modulation (PWM) improves controller stability
by eliminating the high peak currents and heat dissipation
needed to drive power-MOSFETs at very high frequencies.
