Farnell offers an exclusive range of DC-DC integrated gate drivers that help engineers achieve higher power density and better thermal performance in their designs. Modern DC-DC integrated gate drivers often feature advanced capabilities such as programmable switching frequencies, adaptive dead time control, and fault diagnostics.
DC-DC integrated gate drivers combine control logic and power devices in a single package. These sophisticated integrated circuits (ICs) efficiently control the switching of power MOSFETs and IGBTs in DC-DC converter applications. They are vital components in modern power management systems.
Typical applications include automotive systems, industrial equipment, and consumer electronics. Integrating multiple functions—including bootstrap diodes, level shifters, and dead control—simplifies design complexity while improving overall system efficiency. Engineers use integrated gate drivers to reduce board space, improve switching performance, and increase system reliability. Several built-in protection features, including undervoltage lockout (UVLO), thermal shutdown, and overcurrent protection, ensure safe and reliable operation.
