An intuitive explanation of the need for power MOSFET drivers including the issues of: gate charge, gate power losses, transformer coupling, DC restorer, high side drive and ground potential differences.

    This is the best mosfet explanation I've ever seen, much appreciated.

    One of the best MOSFET driver tutorials that you can find on the internet. As usual, clips of Pro. Sam Ben-Yaakov are very practical and his explanation is intuitive and can not be clearer. Watching hours of his lectures on Youtube saves me days on the labs. These are some of my favorites on his channels: PWM controllers (signature is peak control mode), MOSFET drivers, Ground looping, inductor/transformers. I just wonder is there any book that he has published which covers those topics, i definitely stock it up on my shelf
  • Thank you Professor, I love how your videos are the perfect blend of applied engineering and theory/maths! Its very hard to find that.
  • Best explanation I ever found so far on YouTube, and from elsewhere (including some webinars from semiconductor manufacturers). I'll recomment your video to everybody who'd like to know more on this topic, and on my own videos if it comes the chance. Thank you for posting, greetings from the Alps.
  • @TYGAMatt
    Possibly the best explanation on the planet. Brilliant. Thank you Sir.

    Thank you Prof. Ben-Yaakov, well-explained and very thorough. Videos like this help millions of students who cannot afford expensive books and after-school institutions. You are a teacher of millions: what a big class you have Prof. Ben? Thank you for running a school without boundries and with A-class level. God bless you and your team.

    Wow this is the best explanation on power tutorial I'm trying to build a two phase ---two three phase inverter. Thank you you cleared up so many questions i had...
  • This is THE best MOSFET driver tutorial on the internet. Thank you professor!
  • @carmelpule6954
    Such elegance in every depicted detail can only come about through a long experience of dedicated work. Congratulations and thank you for your presentations.
  • @DaFratRat
    I love how you frame it from an engineering design point of view. It seems obvious now that you have said it. I'm excited to read through all your series. I hope to be able to apply this knowledge at work soon!
  • @vtgastulo
    Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge of power electronics Prof. Ben-Yaakov!
  • @franklinw7320
    Very excellent explanation, professor. I learnt a lot from your video series and got a better understanding of what is really happening in power generators. Thanks again!
  • @Spark-Hole
    Best preparation, thorough. This vidio will be on Youtube for hundreds of year.Big salute, Thank you.
  • @BRR999
    This is by FAR FAR the BEST no bullshit down to earth explanation on the internet!!! Thank you thank you thank you.
  • @burakaltay7485
    I couldn't be more grateful for such an amazing video. Even if I am already graduated, this video helped me understand drivers better than any other lesson.
  • @GluonToo
    Thanks from Poland! Very interesting lectures, clear manner of transmission, information beyond the basics. Something like this I was looking for.
  • @richsmith46
    One of the clearest explanations of this topic I've seen. Thanks for sharing
  • Boa tarde! Gostaria de agradecer os ensinamentos que estou tentando em vários vídeos que você está produzindo. São os melhores. Parabéns, ótimo trabalho! Obrigado!
  • Informative, concise, well-explained... It is clear how much you really love teaching, and we all appreciate it. I am an electronics degree student and even though some of these concepts have been mentioned in class (while talking about converters) only with your explanation do I begin to understand how much there is to know about this subject. I am eager to rewatch the video with time and patience to really soak up everything you said. I would be happy if one day I would be able not only to interiorize the knowledge but to explain it half as good as you do. Thank you very much.

    Your explanation is simple, deep and educational at the same time. It's been a week that I try to find a solution to control the mosfets of a speed variator for three-phase Asynchronous motor. A floating power supply was essential, and the methods using transformers or optocouplers did not satisfy me. You just saved my life with this IF2110, thank you so much. In addition let me congratulate you on the English used, simple and concise while in the technical field I am more used to French.
