What is gate charge a measure of?

  • A.The charge needed to switch the device
  • B.The leakage charge lost through the oxide per second
  • C.The channel charge available to carry current
  • D.The charge stored in the drain depletion region

Answer: A

Gate charge is the charge a driver must deliver to turn the device on, and it decides the drive current needed at a given switching frequency. It is not leakage, not channel charge, and not depletion charge. A device with no steady gate current still needs substantial pulses of it, which is why gate drivers exist and why switching loss rises with frequency even in a device that draws nothing when static. Framing the question as which quantity the change acts upon makes the answer follow without calculation.
