A MOSFET gate driver is a semiconductor integrated circuit.
While there are various types of semiconductor integrated circuits, unlike others, a MOSFET gate driver can control the voltage of the MOSFET gate. It is also capable of performing on-off switching.
Characteristically, a MOSFET gate driver comes with built-in step-up circuits and protection circuits. It can be used for purposes such as single high-side connections and power multiplexing with multiple inputs. Additionally, it has applications in control microcontrollers and motor control for precision devices like industrial robots, cooling fans, and drones.
