Figure 1: Gate driver circuit diagram with a Bourns transformer
While gate driver-based converters deliver improved efficiency, speed and signal integrity, their high frequency switching features can produce elevated levels of conducted electromagnetic interference (EMI), posing challenges to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and overall system reliability. To solve this

Figure1: Inductor Self-heating in the core vs the winding
The efficiency and the thermal properties of key components have very real implications for the success of any converter design. Switching FETs and inductors are generally the two most considered choices determining size and performance of any converter. Though made of vastly different materials of course, and with dif

Figure 1: The LTC7891 step-down (buck) converter schematic
Gallium nitride field-effect transistors (GaN FETs) offer faster switching speeds, smaller packages, and lower power losses than silicon FETs. These features allow power converters to run at higher frequencies, reducing overall solution size while maintaining high efficiency. While the basic DC-to-DC converter de

Figure 1: Stability versus Current
- Low current condition (Vds=200V)
- High current condition (Vds=200V)
Engineers working with Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFETs encounter this firsthand when parallel devices begin exhibiting unexpected oscillations. What starts as a subtle waveform irregularity on an oscilloscope trace can quickly reveal deeper design sensitivities in high-speed switching environments.
