Important Characteristics of Insulated Gate Drivers

Thomas Brand, Senior Field Applications Engineer, Analog Devices

In power electronics, as found, for example, in drive technology, IGBTs are frequently used for high voltage and high current switching. These power transistors are voltage controlled and produce their main losses during switching. To minimize the switching losses, it is desirable to have short switching times. Ho
