What is an automotive transformer?
A transformer is a device that transfers electric power from one circuit to one or more other circuits, and it can increase or reduce the voltage during the transformation. The automotive transformer, also called gate drive transformer or drive transformer, is a specialized type of transformer. In control circuits and power devices, it is used to isolate current and control pulses. It can also output voltage via an appropriate primary-to-secondary turns ratio.
Automotive Transformer Advantages
• high operating frequency
Mentech gate drive transformers can work well at a high frequency range, spanning from 100KHz to 400KHz.
• wide voltage range
Drive transformers can work well at a broad operating voltage range, specifically designed to meet the requirements of 800V-1000V high voltage system applications.
• Large creepage distance design
The automotive transformers feature a large creepage distance design, which significantly enhances its insulation performance and safety.
• High insulation strength
Mentech gate drive transformers can withstand insulation compressive strengths ranging from 1KV to 5KV.
• Low distributed capacitance
Our transformers have low distributed capacitance, which helps to minimize signal interference and improve the overall performance of the system.
• Wide temperature range
