After discussing the three transistor high-side buck p-mosfet driver (a recognised circuit and not mine) with some of EW’s sage commenters, I wondered once again if I could design something similar ...

For ultra fast switching of power MOSFET and IGBT loads, the ZXGD3005E6 10A gate driver relies on an emitter follower configuration to deliver propagation delay times of less than 10 ns and rise and ...

Figure 2 Bootstrapping the IC switch voltage to the input in the circuit of Figure 1 improves efficiency by about 3%. Of course, the FET actively turns on when the source goes low. But simply using ...

Last time on Circuit VR, we looked at creating a very simple common emitter amplifier, but we didn’t talk about how to select the capacitor values, or much about why we wanted them. We are going to ...

An engineer asked me for help when he encountered what appeared to be strange phenomenon while testing a prototype circuit in the system. He saw “mysterious” clipping distortion of the signal at the ...
