Hello All,
I'm designing a driver board to control some MOSFETs. I have some mic4427 MOSFET drivers to drive the gates into avalanche mode but the function generators I am using to trigger the chips only put out 50% duty cycle square waves. I'm working in a wide frequency range from 1 kHz to about 500 kHz and I simply want to use the shortest possible pulses to turn on and off the MOSFET driver chips.
I am wondering if there is a way I could use some logic chips to produce extremely short pulses ~1uS to trigger the MOSFET drivers? I would simply feed my function generator output into the chip(s) and they would, in turn, make the shortened pulses to drive mic4427s. If not, does anyone know of a simple way I could accomplish this? I'm trying to think of the most bare bones way to do this with the least components.
Thanks,
Jason O
