what is gate driver?

A gate driver is a circuit that has a fairly high pull-up and pull-down current output so that it can charge and discharge the high gate to source capacitance of Mosfets very quickly.
Gate driver ICs are available but frequently a pair of complementary (an NPN transistor and a PNP transistor) emitter-followers are used. ;D
