4 Robustness Features

When choosing a gate driver, it is important to consider how a device responds to undervoltage events, negative transients, or cross-conduction (in a half-bridge configuration). Robust specifications and integrated features allow gate drivers to have greater resilience to these events, contributing to greater reliability of the system.
