• 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.
