[SOLVED] Drive gate of power Mosfet

[abdul rauf liaqat]

Hi All,
I have designed my Boost converter successfully. I want to drive the gate of my power mosfet at 60KHz. My controller is giving output from 0 to 3.3V. My question is How can i drive my Boost mosfet gate? Mosfet gate requirement is, it should be given 0 to 12 pulsating voltage to operate in saturation. How can i convert 0 to 3.3v of controller to 0 to 12V (pulsating) to drive the gate of my mosfet. Immediate help needed!

Waiting for your response. Thanks in Advance

Use a driver chip like TC427 with a 12V supply. It has a TTL input level specification and can be driven by 3.3V CMOS.

I assume you have a N-mosfet, you can use the following drivers

TC4427A (1.5A) https://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/Devices.aspx?dDocName=en010671
TC4424A (3A) https://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/Devices.aspx?dDocName=en027087
