Hi,
I have a gate driver which specifies a minimun peak current of 6A. I'm switching a Power MOSFET at a PWM frequency of 10 kHz, Vgs = 12V. The mosfet total gate charge is 160nC.
For the 12V, I'm using a DC/DC converter @1W/84mA max.
The math throws an average gate current of 2mA. So, is this the current that my converter has to supply, right? Can a 1uF capacitor handle the 6A peak current? As my converter is 84 mA max.
