When evaluating new switching transistors circuits, often only the transistor specifications are considered. However, a very significant contributor in the robustness of the final design is the driver circuit. This whitepaper shares some design guidelines and advice on how to reduce failure causes and simplify the design – with application examples for a better comprehension.
