A deeper dive into controlling gates of MOSFETs with boostrap circuits talked in this app note from ON Semiconductors. Link here (PDF) The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate a systematic approach to design high−performance bootstrap gate drive circuits for high−frequency, high−power, and high−efficiency switching applications using a power MOSFET and IGBT. It should […]

App note: Analysis of power dissipation and thermal considerations for high voltage gate drivers
App note from ON Semiconductors on ways to dissipate thermals or reduce junction temperature of HVIC. Link here (PDF) Gate drivers used to switch MOSFETs and IGBTs at high frequencies can dissipate significant amount of power depending on the operating conditions. It is important to determine the driver power dissipation and the resulting junction temperature […]
