We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "MOSFET drivers",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Step-down controller claims widest input range from
Intersil, which we summarised at the time by saying "Dual-output buck controller runs from the industry's widest input voltage range, accepting inputs from 3.3 to 25V, and producing outputs from +0.6 to +5.0V".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Smaller drivers minimise gate bounce from
Microchip Technology: "MOSFET drivers are rated for a peak output current of 0.5A, over a wide operating voltage range of 4.5-18V".
In May 2007, we covered the news from ON Semiconductor
concerning its NCP1396
- take a look at Resonant mode controller has drivers and VCO
which says: "Resonant mode controller features built-in high- and low-side MOSFET drivers to enable compact design of reliable and highly efficient power supplies".
Take a look also at the news release from Fairchild Semiconductor, Drivers bridge from logic to power MOSFETs,
as well as PWM controllers take more discretes onboard from Intersil,
and Programmable power manager costs less than a buck from Lattice Semiconductor UK.
