SMPSRMThe time needed to switch the MOSFET between onand off states is dependent upon the impedance of thegate drive circuit. It is very important that the drive circuitbe bypassed with a capacitor that will keep the drivevoltage constant over the drive period. A 0.1 F capacitoris more than sufficient.Driving MOSFETs in Switching<strong>Power</strong> <strong>Supply</strong> ApplicationsThere are three things that are very important in thehigh frequency driving of MOSFETs: there must be atotem–pole driver; the drive voltage source must be wellbypassed; and the drive devices must be able to sourcehigh levels of current in very short periods of time (lowcompliance). The optimal drive circuit is shown inFigure 19.V GLOADV GLOADR onR offa. Passive Turn–ONb. Passive Turn–OFFV GLOADV GLOADc. Bipolar Totem–poled. MOS Totem–poleFigure 19.
