What Is a Power Semiconductor?
Logic chips want low voltage. The grid delivers high voltage. Power semiconductors make the two work together.

Our latest application note explains why passive-active and active-passive transitions behave differently, and why optimizing each independently can improve switching performance.
One dead time setting is convenient; two dead time settings may be better.

Theory is useful. Measured data is better.
Using a double-pulse test setup, we compared:
• Traditional Qsw calculations
• Proposed percent-point Qsw calculations
• Actual measured switching energy
The results were striking.
