But if you used voltage less than 4 volts it may not give you the required result. When hen input to low side at pin 12 Lin is low, LO output will be equal to the value of VSS and it means zero. Because when an input to the low side at pin 12 Lin is high, LO output will be equal to the value of Vcc voltage at pin 3 with respect to Vss and COM pin. It is at the same potential as ground VSS pin 13.
Applications Introduction to IR2110 MOSFET DRIVER.high side and low side MOSFET driver in half-bridge.IR2110 as low side or high side MOSFET DRIVER.If peak current required for your application is too high to handle for MOSFET driver IC, you can use external totem-pole output or complementary MOSFET circuits. NOTE: the current required to drive a MOSFET gate is very low but peak current somehow greater than average current. To know about totem pole output and its used a Mosfet driver go through the following article: Because it has low input impedance and high drive current.
#Totem pole output drivers
But almost all MOSFET drivers used totem pole output. There are many types of MOSFET drivers available in the market. MOSFET drivers are used to avoiding these issues. This problem is known as the miller effect. High voltage on the drain of MOSFET cause problem by interaction with gate-drain capacitance. One can do it very easily but there is one issue. Why we need a MOSFET driver? Because MOSFETs are voltage control devices and used to drive MOSFET the gate capacitance should be charged to operating voltage which is usually between 9-10 volt.
#Totem pole output how to
How to use a MOSFET driver? MOSFET driver circuits are used to drive MOSFETS in a high side or low side. It can drive both low side and high side switches in half-bridge and low bridge circuits. IR2110 is a high voltage MOSFET driver IC.
