Power semiconductors employed in power management systems include power switches, gate drivers and rectifiers (diodes). Power switches include MOSFETs, IGBTs, and BJTs (bipolar junction transistors). Gate drivers provide sufficient drive voltage for MOSFET and IGBT power switches to ensure the switch turns on and off. Rectifiers are used primarily to convert ac to dc and also to impede the flow of current in their reverse direction.
