- May require level shifting when interfacing with 3.3V/5V microcontroller outputs
- Ensure gate driver can supply sufficient peak current for required switching speed
Controller IC Integration:
- Works well with popular PWM controllers (UC384x, TL494, etc.)
- Compatible with most microcontroller-based digital power supplies
- Requires attention to timing constraints in digital control loops
Passive Component Selection:
- Bootstrap capacitors must withstand high dv/dt conditions
- Gate resistors should be non-inductive types
- Decoupling capacitors must have low ESR and adequate voltage rating
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Stage Layout:
- Keep drain and source traces short and wide to minimize parasitic inductance
- Use ground planes for improved thermal performance and noise immunity
- Place decoupling capacitors as close as possible to drain and source pins
