Abstract:
This paper is a close-up on three integrated functions of a more global Gate Driver Function: Signal Isolation, Negative voltage generation and Adaptive Output Impedance. Specific architectures have been developed to be compatible with Wide Band Gap Transistors and high temperature operations. The functions are described and experimental measurements on Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC) are presented.
