Abstract :
Resonant gate drivers which include galvanic isolation are reviewed. A design method for transformer-isolated resonant gate drivers is presented, in which the transformer is also used as the resonant inductor in the gate driver circuit. A prototype gate driver is built and evaluated in a 400 V 5 A inverter.
