Abstract: Systems and methods that automatically detect state of switches in power converters are disclosed. In one aspect, a power switch includes a first switch coupled between a power input node and a first terminal of a load, a second switch coupled between the power input node and a second terminal of the load, first and second current sense devices arranged to transmit first and second signals including at least one of a magnitude and polarity of first and second currents through the first and second switches, respectively, a first driver circuit arranged to transmit first control signals to the first switch based at least in part on a voltage at the power input node and the first signal, and a second driver circuit arranged to transmit second control signals to the second switch based at least in part on the voltage at the power input node and the second signal.

Abstract: Systems and methods for a GaN-based motor drive circuit using synchronous rectification is disclosed. In one aspect, a method of operating a motor drive circuit includes providing a half-bridge circuit including a high-side GaN switch and a low-side GaN switch coupled in series at an output node, providing a motor coupled to the output node, turning on the high-side GaN switch such that a first current flows through the motor, turning off the high-side GaN switch, turning on the low-side GaN switch when a voltage at the output node drops below a predetermined threshold voltage, sensing, using a sense device coupled to the low-side GaN switch, a magnitude of a second current that flows through the low-side GaN switch, and turning off the low-side GaN switch when the magnitude of the second current drops below a predetermined threshold current.
