    You do not always need one if you don't do high speed switching, change gpio setting to high drive strength and get a low Vgs mosfet that is 100% on at 1Volt like the RU1J002YNTCL

    Very well done. I appreciate the animations, esp. showing when the mosfet acts like a switch or an open.

    Many makers use their MOSFET gate drivers not with their full performance. So they are often surpriced by considerably higher switching losses than expected. Most of the gate drivers devices can provide gate currents of 1 A, 4 A or even more. But they can't provide them if the circuit design has no buffer capacitors immediately at power supply pins of the gate driver IC and also if the MOSFET is considerably separated from the gate driver's output pin. The high current must be supplied within nanoseconds. This is impossible if there are considerable line inductances.

    The youtube algorithm put this in my feed. I thought it was very well done. I did subscribe as many other videos on the channel look just as interesting. If I had to make one suggestion, don’t contaminate a great instructional video with political figures (of any persuasion) even if used for comic relief. Some of us (I’m in the U.S.) watch videos like this to learn and to get away from the news of the day. Just my 2 cents for what it’s worth. Great work.

    Many think they always need to use a high driver in a low speed application. They can get into a pack of trouble when these fast switching currents introduce noise. I sometimes purposely slow down switching speeds to prevent these problems. I prefer to use drivers with low supply voltage protection to avoid FET overheating due to low drive voltage.

    If no high frequency load switching requierd (eg. pwm motor speed control, inverter etc.) I use 74HCT595's for driving mosfets. Their outputs are also grounded by 10k resistors, to turn off outputs when the registers are in high impedance mode. I run these shift registers from 5V, and I use an optocoupler for level shifting and for protecting the micro (which runs from a separate 3.3V power rail) against transients. I've built dozens of these output cards, and all of them are running smoothly. I also use a trick, an extra optocoupler, which is fed through a capacitor, and connected to a GPIO which state is inverted innevery loop cycle. Every H-L transition is discharging a capacitor by the emitter of the optocoupler, so if the program freezes on the micro, all outputs will be turned off immediately.

    Switching a high side mosfet is bit tricky. For example, using a simple transistor based gate driver for N type mosfet connected on positive rail of buck conveter would cause a shoot through fault. Gate drivers ic becomes really handy for such cases

    Just use a MAX232... it accepts a logic input and can drive a MOSFET or IGBT with ease. the MAX232 was designed to drive RS232 signals though inductive and capacitive loads and provides both a positive and negative output which s ideal for driving gates and it generates its own step up voltage

      It's usually a bodge to mitigate the ringing problem alluded to in the video. Ideally a gate resistor isn't required. There are other ways to deal with it.

    • @Ormaaj
      @Ormaaj Před 2 lety

      @@suncrafterspielt9479 You can clamp the gate signal with a zener, possibly combined with a tank circuit to eat excess current from the top of the wave you've chopped off. If you can keep the inductance low enough you might not need to do anything at all. Really depends on the application and layout and you'll need to run tests and simulations to determine what compensation is needed if any. This video mainly pertains to digital switching of power mosfets which can have quite large CGS > 1 nf.

    For n-channel MOSFET gate driver, you have considered 12V as supply voltage. So Vgs is 16V.
    If supply voltage will be 30V then Vgs should be 34V??
