MOSFET Terminals
The voltage applied to the GATE terminal determines whether
current can flow between the SOURCE & DRAIN terminals.
For an n-channel MOSFET, the SOURCE is biased at a lower
potential (often 0 V) than the DRAIN
(Electrons flow from SOURCE to DRAIN when VG > VT)

Copyright by www.noteshit.com
59
Interface between control (low power electronics) and (high power) switch.
Functions:
amplifies control signal to a level required to drive power switch
provides electrical isolation between power switch and logic level
Complexity of driver varies markedly among switches. MOSFET/IGBT drivers
are simple but GTO drivers are very complicated and expensive.
