A novel MOSFET gate driver for the complementary Class D converter

A novel MOSFET gate driver for the complementary Class D converter

The MOSFET gate driver (MGD) has many applications in power electronics. The common MGD needs a high voltage level-shifter to drive the high-side switch. Level-shifting impairs speed and consumes a large area of the die. This paper introduces a novel MGD that works with a complementary Class D power...

Zusammenfassung:The MOSFET gate driver (MGD) has many applications in power electronics. The common MGD needs a high voltage level-shifter to drive the high-side switch. Level-shifting impairs speed and consumes a large area of the die. This paper introduces a novel MGD that works with a complementary Class D power converter. Void of level shifting, this low voltage IC is fast, does not require a bootstrap circuit and is less costly to manufacture.
