PRODUCTION DATA
This examples considers an IGBT drive with the following parameters:
Applying the value of the gate resistor RG = 10 Ω.
Then, calculating the worst-case output-power consumption as a function of RG, using Equation 5 ron-max = worst case output resistance in the on-state: 4 Ω, roff-max = worst case output resistance in the off-state: 2.5 Ω, RG = gate resistor yields
Because POL-WC = 72.61 mW is less than the calculated maximum of POL = 88.25 mW, the resistor value of RG = 10 Ω is suitable for this application.
