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 ...

This whitepaper gives a compact overview of the recommended gate drive concepts for both GIT (gate injection transistor) and SGT (Schottky gate transistor) product families. A versatile standard drive ...

This application note covers the topic of calculating gate driver power and thermal dissipation of the gate drive optocoupler IC. Gate drive optocouplers are used to drive, turning-on and off, power ...

Amidst all the carbon bling, lightweight parts and new gadgets showing up at Interbike this year, a small company is making big impressions in the drive train market. Gates Carbon Drive Systems, an ...

This gate-drive transformer (GDT)circuit allows the drive signal to the MOSFET to range from 50% down to 0%, while still offering a fast turn-off that cannot be accomplished with a simple load ...

Local power that is available for protection circuits, such as desaturation detection. Among the disadvantages of this type of driver are the cost, complexity and board space required for all the ...

Gates has announced a series of new belt drive products for two-wheelers this summer attempting to get more riders than ever on belt-drive bikes. The new products include options that could greatly ...

Gates belt drives are engineered with high-stiffness, long-lasting synthetic compounds layered with carbon fiber cords for superior strength and durability. New nylon tooth fabric improves the Moto X5 ...
