Infineon is tackling ground shifts caused by parasitic inductances when power MOSFETs are switched by launching the 1-channel low-side gate driver ICs 1EDN7550 and 1EDN8550. Both of the gate drivers belonging to the EiceDRIVER family have truly differential control inputs and can effectively prevent false triggering of power MOSFETs. 1EDN7550 and 1EDN8550 are used in ...
