© 2007 Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation www.fairchildsemi.com Conclusion Low-side drivers are used to drive power MOSFETs in applications including clamped inductive load switching, synchronous rectifier circuits, and pulse/gate transformer drive circuits. The relationship of gate drive current to the MOSFET switching and transition intervals has been detailed during the prominent MOSFET switching intervals. Potential driver solutions; including discrete components, integrated PMOS/NMOS, and compound drivers, were examined. Some of the non-ideal characteristics of the various driver circuits were highlighted. There is not a simple unified method to characterize the output current sink and source capability of the many types of drivers available. The test circuits presented in this note can be used to investigate the V OUT vs. IOUT capability of discrete and integrated circuit drivers, enabling evaluation and comparison of drivers for a range of applications.
