MOSFET drivers

Integrated discrete MOSFET drivers combine several discrete products into one package to offer MOSFET driving functionality. With a choice of configurations Philips offers solutions to take load from the driving circuit, improve the efficiency of the MOSFET and enable design flexibility.

KEY FEATUREs
- Complete MOSFET driving functionality in
   one package
- Several configurations available

Key benefits
- Improved MOSFET efficiency by
   • Minimizing rise and fall time
   • Fast gate (dis-)charge of the driven
      MOSFET
- Takes load from the driving circuit
   and thus minimizes the IC power dissipation
- More design flexibility: the control IC and
   the MOSFET do not have to be placed as
   close as possible anymore
- Cost-effective alternative to IC-solutions

Key applications
- MOSFET driver
- Bipolar power transistor driver
- Push-pull driver
