High-voltage transient spikes generated during power conversion or gate-drive switching can be very harmful. In a motor-drive application, voltage derivation over time (dV/dt) transients may break the ...

Most rechargeable battery-powered systems include a switch that connects the load either to the battery or to a source of charging power. This switch allows a system with a depleted battery to operate ...

Milpitas, CA – Linear Technology Corporation introduces the LTC4412HV, a robust “ideal diode” controller with at least 10x lower forward voltage than a Schottky diode. As a result, the device provides ...

A gate turn-off switch, also known as a gate-controlled switch (GCS) or gate turn-off thyristor (GTO), is similar to an SCR but can be turned off by a negative signal on the gate terminal. GTOs ...

A technical paper titled “Gate Drive Circuit Suitable for a GaN Gate Injection Transistor” was published by researchers at Nagoya University. “A GaN gate injection transistor (GIT) has great potential ...
