Introduction

Appliances enable hobbies and more efficient task completion in homes and large-scale buildings alike. Whether using a blender for a morning smoothie or powering up garden tools to touch up landscaping, all battery-powered appliances must be designed to meet the following criteria:

  • Efficient: Maximizing the usability of power drawn by appliances is crucial to reduce energy costs and verify long lasting operation. Whether extending the potential of a battery pack or optimizing the power received from an outlet, gate drivers help minimize switching losses in a system.
  • Reliable: Owners of home tools want investments to last an extended period of time. Careful component selection and considering the physical environment the appliance operates in enable appliances to be built to last.
  • Affordable: With many brands competing in this battery-powered tools market, appliance products are heavily scrutinized on price. To transfer savings to the consumer, engineers need to use cost optimized parts that do not compromise performance.
