Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of a gate driver?
A gate driver is a power amplifier that accepts a low-power input from a controller IC and produces a high-current drive input for the gate of a high-power transistor such as a MOSFET or IGBT. This is necessary for switching the transistor on and off quickly and efficiently.
What is a constant current LED driver?
A constant current LED driver is an electronic circuit that regulates the current flowing to an LED or a string of LEDs. This ensures that the LEDs maintain a consistent brightness and are not damaged by excessive current, regardless of fluctuations in the input voltage.
