MOSFET Gate Drive Isolation Guide for Prototypers
The Problem: Why Gate Drive Isolation Matters When switching high-power MOSFETs, the gate needs to be driven cleanly and safely. But if the gate drive isn’t isolated properly—especially in high-side switching or noisy environments—it can lead to erratic switching, shoot-through currents, or even damage to the controller.
The Solution: Use Gate …
MOSFET Gate Driver Isolation: Why It’s Essential and How to Fix It
The Problem : When using a MOSFET to control high-power loads like motors or LEDs, the gate needs to be driven correctly to ensure fast switching and prevent damage. However, without gate driver isolation, voltage spikes or noise from the load can feed back into the control circuit, potentially damaging the microcontroller or Arduino. …
