Gate sizing is a fundamental technique in VLSI design, where the dimensions of transistors and gates are carefully adjusted to achieve optimal performance, minimise power consumption and reduce delay.

Properly designing the gate drive circuit for high-voltage MOSFETs is essential to ensure proper performance from the MOSFET one desires. Far too often, engineers find themselves having difficulty in ...

When designing a motor control circuit, it’s vital to determine how to deliver the high current required to drive the motor. Designers must choose whether to use monolithic integrated circuits (ICs) ...

Check out our coverage of APEC 2024. This article is part of the TechXchange: Gallium Nitride (GaN). The GaN FET is becoming widely preferred in power systems such as high-frequency DC-DC converters.

This article is part of the TechXchange: Silicon Carbide (SiC). At the heart of every electric vehicle (EV) is a traction inverter that converts direct current (dc) from the high-voltage battery into ...

A gate turn-off switch, also known as a gate-controlled switch (GCS) or gate turn-off thyristor (GTO), is similar to an SCR but can be turned off by a negative signal on the gate terminal. GTOs ...
