Calculation of Minimum Output Current (IOL)
to Drive IGBT / MOSFET
The key requirement for any IGBT/ The gate capacitance of the
MOSFET gate drive optocoupler is IGBT / MOSFET determines how
for it to supply the Minimum Output much current is required from the
Current (IOL) needed to switch the driver for basic switching:
IGBT/MOSFET to the low-impedance
state. A common misunderstanding
