Fairchild Expert Alan Elbanhawy Will Discuss MOSFET Gate Resistance
(Rg) and Its Effects on System Losses and Loss Mechanisms Fairchild
Semiconductor (NYSE:FCS) power expert Alan Elbanhawy will present
the paper "Parasitic Gate Resistance and Switching Performance" at
the Maple Conference 2006 in Waterloo, Canada, July 23-26. This
conference draws worldwide experts to offer insights and techniques
in the effective and novel application of Maplesoft technology in
their respective fields. In synchronous buck converters, a MOSFET's
gate resistance (Rg) has significant influence on system losses and
loss mechanisms. Using mathematical treatment and laboratory
examinations, Elbanhawy's conference paper will examine the effect
of Rg on current distribution on the die and current rise and fall
times, which influence the dynamic losses, and also the effect of
Rg on shoot through in the synchronous buck converter. Elbanhawy is
director, Computing and Telecommunication Segments, Advanced Power
Systems Center at Fairchild Semiconductor. With more than
thirty-five years of experience in power supply design and R&D
management, he holds seven patents and has applications pending for
an additional seven. Elbanhawy has delivered numerous technical
presentations at conferences, including PESC, PEDS, Intel
Technology Symposium, PCIM, PPDC, IPEC, IPEMC, IIC and Power
Systems World, and has written articles for many U.S. and
international technical publications. For complete information on
