  • Abstract
    A structured method for evaluating bipolar power transistor base drive circuitry is presented. Techniques used to generate the data required for the evaluation are also presented. Experimental measurements, theoretical analyses and computer simulations, which include parasitic elements and the effects of component variations, are the basis for the evaluation. Two examples illustrate the structured method of evaluating and comparing base drive circuits.
