To conserve energy, there has been a big push to lower the standby power in off-line power supplies. Many countries around the world are adopting green-mode Michael O'Loughlin, Customer Applications ...

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate a systematic approach to design high-performance bootstrap gate drive circuits for high-frequency, high-power, and high-efficiency switching applications ...

Bootstrap circuits are widely used in dc-dc converters to serve as top-side bias voltage supplies. After explaining how bootstrap circuits work, this article will show how versatile they can be. One ...

The High-Voltage Integrated Circuit (HVIC) gate driver family is designed to drive an N-channel MOSFET or IGBT up to 600 V. One of the most common methods to supply power to the high-side gate drive ...
