IGBT Gate Driver Solutions for Low and Medium Power Applications

چکیده
Issue 6 2010 Power Electronics Europe www.power-mag.com Power electronics systems are commonly used in motor drive, power supply and power conversion applications. They cover a wide output power spectrum: from several hundred watts in small drives up to megawatts in wind power installations or large drive systems. Inside the system the gate driver circuit with its extensive control and monitoring functions forms the interface between the microcontroller and the power switches (IGBT). In this second part of the article fully integrated gate driver solutions for the low power range, their technologies, circuit aspects and specific designs are shown and discussed. R. Herzer, J.
