‘Mosfet Driver’
An Electronicstalk guide
Start with the news release International Rectifier offers automotive MOSFETs from International Rectifier, which we summarised at the time by saying "International Rectifier has expanded its offering of 40 to 100V automotive-qualified MOSFETs, including a range of logic level devices. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Power-management controller for standard MOSFETs from Texas Instruments: "Texas Instruments has introduced a power-management controller and driver for standard and logic-level N-channel MOSFETs used for low-voltage, secondary-side synchronous rectification. ".
In December 2010, we covered the news from Linear Technology - take a look at Voltage controller with integrated power MOSFET which says: "Linear Technology has introduced the LTC4219 5A Hot Swap controller with sense resistor, for protecting low-power boards from inrush current in many RAID, server, telecom and industrial applications.".
Take a look also at the news release from Maxim Integrated Products, VGA for wireless infrastructure transceivers, as well as Driver controller for illumination and signage from Diodes Incorporated, and Offline switcher IC eliminates no-load waste from Power Integrations.
