A gate turn-off switch, also known as a gate-controlled switch (GCS) or gate turn-off thyristor (GTO), is similar to an SCR but can be turned off by a negative signal on the gate terminal. GTOs ...

Check out our coverage of APEC 2024. This article is part of the TechXchange: Gallium Nitride (GaN). The GaN FET is becoming widely preferred in power systems such as high-frequency DC-DC converters.

Properly designing the gate drive circuit for high-voltage MOSFETs is essential to ensure proper performance from the MOSFET one desires. Far too often, engineers find themselves having difficulty in ...
