1. What is a gate driver?
Circuit, gate signal enhancement, controller
A gate driver is a circuit that is mainly used to enhance the gate signal of a field effect transistor (MOSFET) or an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) so that the controller can better control the operation of these semiconductor switches ，The gate driver controls the gate of the MOSFET or IGBT by converting the signal output by the controller into a high-voltage, high-current pulse, thereby improving the performance, reliability and service life of these devices.
Working principle
The gate driver is mainly composed of an input stage, a driver stage and an output stage:
Input stage: responsible for receiving the signal output by the controller and converting it into a TTL or CMOS logic level.
Driver stage: amplifies and converts the signal to generate a high-voltage, high-current pulse signal.
Output stage: uses these pulse signals to control the gate of the MOSFET or IGBT. -
2. What is an active gate driver?
An active gate driver is a circuit that is mainly used to enhance the gate signal of a field effect transistor (MOSFET) or an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) so that the controller can better control the operation of these semiconductor switches. It controls the gate of MOSFET or IGBT by converting the signal output by the controller into high-voltage, high-current pulses, thereby improving the performance, reliability and service life of these devices.

3. What is a motor gate driver?
A motor gate driver is a circuit that is mainly used to enhance the gate signal of a field effect transistor (MOSFET) or an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) so that the controller can better control the operation of these semiconductor switches. It converts the low-voltage signal output by the controller into a high-voltage, high-current pulse signal to ensure that the MOSFET or IGBT can switch states stably and quickly within its operating range.

4. What is the difference between MOSFET and IGBT gate drivers?
The gate drivers of MOSFET and IGBT have significant differences in drive voltage, drive current, and drive mode.
Drive Voltage and Drive Current
MOSFET: The gate drive voltage of MOSFET is low, usually between 10V and 20V. Due to its structural characteristics, the driving current of MOSFET is also relatively small, which is suitable for using a smaller driving circuit.
IGBT: The gate driving voltage of IGBT is relatively high, usually between 15V and 20V. Due to its composite structure, IGBT requires a large driving current to control its conduction and cutoff, and usually requires a special driving circuit to provide sufficient driving power.
Driving method
MOSFET: The switching speed of MOSFET is very fast and suitable for high-frequency applications. Its driving method is relatively simple, and the gate can be directly controlled by voltage to achieve fast switching action.
IGBT: The switching speed of IGBT is slow and suitable for low-frequency applications. Due to its composite structure, IGBT requires a larger driving current and a more complex driving circuit to ensure its stable operation. IGBT usually requires positive and negative voltages to control its conduction and cutoff, especially when it is turned off, a negative voltage is required to eliminate the current tailing effect.
