It is mostly used when an igbt is run at rated high frequencies like in switch mode power supply smps.
Igbt gate driver schematic.
The structure of an igbt power mosfet is such that the gate forms a nonlinear capacitor.
Employing charge pump and bootstrap.
Charging the gate capacitor turns the power device on and allows current flow between its drain and source terminals while discharging it turns the device off and a large voltage may then be blocked across the drain and source.
Techniques available to boost current outputs 2 3.
Integrated galvanic isolation and low on resistance drive transistors provide high charging and discharging current low dynamic saturation voltage and rail to rail gate voltage control.
In the circuit of figure 10 a single voltage pulse applied to the gate through diode d1 is sufficient to charge the input capacitance cin and turn on the switch t1.
The driver achieves gate levels of 40a 6w by using external n type dmos elements for both the gate drive and dc dc converter output stages.

The gd3100 is an advanced single channel gate driver for igbts sic.
An igbt driver turns on and off the igbt very quickly by charging and discharging the small capacitance between the gate and source.
Power losses in drivers 2.
When the pulse has finished d1 prevents the gate discharging and so the device remains on.
The gate is behaving as a memory of the on state of the switch.
