About This Webinar
Market Focus: IsoDriver 101 - Usage, Features, and Portfolio
Isolated drivers are used primarily to control the on-off switching of power transistors in power converter systems like ac-dc converters, dc-dc converters, and dc-ac inverters.
They have application in a wide range of systems including PV micro-inverters, high power motor control in industrial applications, electric vehicle charging, power supplies for gaming computers, and many more. Learn how to quickly identify the critical specs and features that you need in an isolated gate driver to fit your application.
Technical Focus: Techniques for Driving Four Different Power Transistors
This webinar session will provide an overview of our extensive isolated gate driver portfolio and detail key features of the various product families. We will address how to select the products best suited for the different power switches commonly used today, namely, silicon carbide (SiC), Si MOSFET, GaN and IGBT’s. During this technical session, we will also provide insight into the special challenges involved with driving these high-performance switches
safely and efficiently, and the techniques used to overcome these challenges.
