Power supply architectures for isolated gate drivers
Many power electronic applications such as automotive traction drives, PV inverter, railway traction drives and servo drives require a three-phase inverter power stage to convert DC to three phase AC voltage. Gate drivers are needed to drive the semiconductor devices. Vikneswaran Thayumanasamy and Kevin Lenz look at topology options
