To gate an integral clock pulse sequence from a continuous source without distorting pulse duration and number is not a trivial task. In most cases, a simple AND gate will cause problems, see Figure 1 ...

Discrete small-signal MOSFETs still find uses today, and this Design Idea presents two simple examples: an AND gate, and an amplitude modulator. Figure 1 shows a standard two-input AND gate along with ...

This gate-drive transformer (GDT)circuit allows the drive signal to the MOSFET to range from 50% down to 0%, while still offering a fast turn-off that cannot be accomplished with a simple load ...

High power IGBT modules employ hybrid IC gate drives including protection circuits that implement desaturation detection or real time control. ERIC R. MOTTO Powerex Inc. High power IGBT module ...

Circuits can also be designed for any type of Boolean logic function, such as AND gates and OR gates. Using those kinds of gates, circuits can detect multiple inputs. In most of the previously ...
