Reducing Size, Complexity Of An Isolated Synchronous Gate Driver
Sep 27, 2011
The traditional approach to designing an isolated DC to DC converter with synchronous rectification involves using optocouplers or pulse transformers for isolation, and mating them together with a gate driver IC. However, a more integrated approach has higher performance and a much smaller solution size and cost than either the pulse transformer or optocoupler.

Demystifying Power MOSFET's Avalanche Ruggedness
Jul 28, 2011
Different power electronics applications stress MOSFETs in completely different ways. For example, there are MOSFETS in which the datasheet parameters provide a picture that is “frozen in time.” That is, they are captured under very specific test conditions that may or may not provide an accurate picture of what to expect from the MOSFET behavior in the circuit....

Current Sensing For Server Power Monitoring: MOSFET Or Shunt?
Jul 1, 2011
Power monitoring systems require current sensing and are typically adjacent to, associated with, or integrated with hot swap controllers in server systems. Many designers have expressed a desire to utilize MOSFET current sensing based on the premise that it is lossless, and eliminating a perceived large loss in shunts....
