CHL8510 Overview
The IR3537/CHL8510 is a high efficiency gate driver which can switch both high‐side and low‐side N‐channel external MOSFETs in a synchronous buck converter. It is intended for use with International Rectifier’s Digital PWM controllers to provide a total voltage regulator (VR) solution for today’s advanced puting applications. The IR3537/CHL8510 low‐side driver is capable of rapidly switching large MOSFETs with low...
