The need for robust gate drivers is on the rise. Inverters, converters, and motors require precise gate drive, strong value, and broad flexibility.
Also consider newer power semiconductor technologies such as Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Gallium Nitride (GaN) with their fast switching, low noise, and low losses requiring specialized drive circuitry.
As a design engineer, you understand the need for drivers that:
- Provide high current drive
- Tightly control propagation delay
- Are highly noise immune
- Offer flexible package options
Skyworks’ Si82Ax-Fx families provide all this and more.
