When selecting the proper gate driver device for an end application, some design considerations must be evaluated first to make the most appropriate selection. The following design parameters should be used when selecting the proper gate driver device for an end application: input-to-output configuration, the input threshold type, bias supply voltage levels, peak source and sink currents, availability of independent enable and disable functions, propagation delay, power dissipation, and package type. See the example design parameters and requirements in Table 8-1.
