ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 12 -- United States Patent no. 12,706,600, issued on Aug. 11, was assigned to Vertiv Corp. (Westerville, Ohio).

"Adaptive gate driver with negative temperature coefficient (NTC) resistor" was invented by Dilesh Arvind Raut (Pune, India).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "An adaptive gate drive circuit for an insulated gate bridge transistor, IGBT, based semiconductor switch provides a gate resistance device for reducing timing delays and switching losses associated with an increase in switch junction temperature. The gate resistance device is disposed close to the switch junction and including a negative temperature coefficient, NTC, thermistor and linear gate resistor connec...
