An integrated gate-driver solution eliminates design complexity, development time, bill of materials (BOM) and board space while strengthening reliability over discreetly implemented gate-drive solutions. Our gallium nitride (GaN) HEMT epiwafer products are well known for their. The characteristic impedance and length of the transmission line were determined by the impedance and the angle at which the straight line connecting the. To realize the pass and isolation modes of the SPST switch, we proposed the design technique of a unit branch consisting of one transistor and one transmission. A gate driver IC plays the role of an interface between control signals (digital or analog controllers) and power switches (IGBTs, MOSFETs, SiC MOSFETs, and GaN HEMTs). In this study, a W-band GaN single-pole single-throw (SPST) switch was designed.

Essentially, a gate driver consists of a level shifter in combination with an amplifier. Gate drivers are available across the market either on-chip or as a discrete module. A gate driver is a power amplifier which accepts a low-power input from a controller IC and produces a high-current drive input for a high-power transistor gate such as an IGBT or power MOSFET.


The Global Gate Driver IC Market size is expected to reach $2.1 billion by 2024, rising at a market growth of 8.0% CAGR during the forecast period.
