Top licensing prospects from the University of Wisconsin-Madison
High-Efficiency Drive Circuit and Bidirectional FET
The bidirectional FET switch employs a single gate architecture that eliminates power loss from shunting diodes. A special gate drive circuit provides high-speed switching of the bidirectional FET by actively sinking and sourcing gate currents.
