摘要: A GaN half bridge circuit is disclosed. The circuit includes a bootstrap power supply voltage generator is configured to supply a first power voltage and includes a switch node. The circuit also includes a bootstrap transistor, a bootstrap transistor drive circuit, and a bootstrap capacitor connected to the switch node and to the bootstrap transistor. The bootstrap capacitor is configured to supply the first power voltage while the voltage at the switch node is equal to the second switch node voltage, the bootstrap transistor is configured to electrically connect the bootstrap capacitor to a power node at a second power voltage while the voltage at the switch node is equal to the first switch node voltage, and the bootstrap power supply voltage generator does not include a separate diode in parallel with the drain and source of the bootstrap transistor.

摘要: GaN-based half bridge power conversion circuits employ control, support and logic functions that are monolithically integrated on the same devices as the power transistors. In some embodiments a low side GaN device communicates through one or more level shift circuits with a high side GaN device. Both the high side and the low side devices may have one or more integrated control, support and logic functions. Some devices employ electro-static discharge circuits and features formed within the GaN-based devices to improve the reliability and performance of the half bridge power conversion circuits.

摘要: Leadless electronic packages for GaN-based half bridge power conversion circuits have low inductance internal and external connections, high thermal conductivity and a large separation between external connections for use in high voltage power conversion circuits. Some electronic packages employ “L” shaped power paths and internal low impedance die to die connections. Further embodiments employ an insulative substrate disposed within the electronic package for efficient power path routing and increased packaging density.

摘要: A control scheme and architecture for a wireless electrical energy transmission circuit employs two solid-state switches and a zero voltage switching (ZVS) topology to power an antenna network. The switches drive the antenna network at its resonant frequency and simultaneously energize a separate resonant circuit that has a resonant frequency lower than the antenna circuit. The resonant circuit creates out of phase voltage and current waveforms that enable the switches to operate with (ZVS).

摘要: A GaN driver circuit is disclosed. The circuit includes a low side switch causing the voltage at an output node to be a first voltage, a high side switch causing the voltage at the output node to be a second voltage in response to a control signal, and a high side switch driver circuit configured to cause the high side switch to apply the second voltage to the output node. The high side switch driver includes a pull-down switch configured to turn off the high side switch in response to an input signal, and a pass gate configured to cause the high side switch to apply the second voltage to the output node by causing the voltage of the control signal to become substantially equal to the second voltage plus a third voltage.
