Gate driver boosts output power

A new 6A MOSFET gate driver aims to increase the output power and efficiency of a DC/DC controller by allowing it to drive higher power N-channel MOSFETs or multiple MOSFETs in parallel.

The LTC4441 is a 6A MOSFET gate driver designed to increase the output power and efficiency of a DC/DC controller by allowing it to drive higher power N-channel MOSFETs or multiple MOSFETs in parallel The LTC4441's gate drive voltage is adjustable from 5 to 8V, allowing designers to choose either standard threshold or logic level MOSFETs rather than limiting the choice to only one type of MOSFET or using two different MOSFET drivers
