Hey guys,
Well I'm trying to understand the function of a gate driver using the schematic below. How can I test the output of the gate driver without connecting the mosfets. Also will the circuit work if I just connect +/- 25V to the mosfets and -10V to the gate driver.
forgot to mention that I'am using an IR2110.
I just don't get how it works.
Need help

Have you tried looking at the datasheet? http://www.irf.com/product-info/datasheets/data/ir2110.pdf
There's a functional block diagram as well as test circuits shown in there.
IR2110
Fredos,
Ok I've done my research and it seems the typical connection of a gate driver is to apply -VCC to pins SD,VSS, and Com. What does that have to do with it's function. Here is another example of a gate driver connection.

Another thing, I don't have the load connected it to the output of the mosfets. So are you saying not to power the mosfets and apply the -10V to the gate and see the signals out
