I use a Microship TC1411N (non-inverting) MOSFET driver to power an N-channel MOSFET. I used to have IRF520 MOSFETs, but ran out of them and instead switched over to IRF644s. Since then my MOSFET drivers have been burning up left-and-right.
I am not too familiar with capacitance theory for MOSFETs, but would this be the likely culprit?
The IRF644 has a typical input capacitance of ~1300pF. The IRF520 is rated at 360pF. The TC1411N is supposed to only handle 1000pF gate capacitance.
Is this a reason why my the drivers are burning up (literally, they get up to 100C!)? Thanks everyone.
