CSD17573Q5B: mosfet driver circiut

Part Number: CSD17573Q5B

ctm is cost sensitive, they want to use CSD17573Q5B, and want to use Triode circuit for driver , 10K PWM.

Any recommend circuit? no need for isolation.

  • Piero,

    Thanks for the question.

    We have no reference design for a triode that I am aware of. I am not even sure what specifications this vacuum tube type triode would have and have never dealt with these devices.
    The FET is a voltage controlled device, so as long as you apply a voltage to the gate and have Vgs high enough, the FET will turn on.

    If the customer is looking for an alternative solution then I would suggest they consider some of the Silicon gate drivers TI has here: www.ti.com/.../overview.html
    I am not sure of the cost of a vacuum tube but assume it would be more expensive vs a silicon based driver.
