摘要: A power circuit is disclosed. The power circuit includes a power capacitor and a power resistor connected to the power capacitor. The power circuit also includes a power integrated circuit, including a GaN-based substrate, a power FET on the substrate, and a driver on the substrate. The driver is configured to charge a gate of the power FET using current from a power node. The power integrated circuit also includes a first power voltage regulator on the substrate, where the driver is configured to receive current from the capacitor through the resistor while the driver charges the gate of the power FET, and where the first power voltage regulator is configured to provide current to the capacitor while the driver does not charge the gate of the power FET.

摘要: A half bridge GaN circuit is disclosed. The circuit includes a low side circuit, which has a low side switch, a low side switch driver configured to drive the low side switch, a first level shift circuit configured to receive a first level shift signal, and a second level shift circuit configured to generate a second level shift signal. The half bridge GaN circuit also includes a high side circuit, which has a high side switch configured to be selectively conductive according to a voltage level of a received high side switch signal, and a high side switch driver configured to generate the high side switch signal in response to the level shift signals. A transition in the voltage of the high side switch signal causes the high side switch driver to prevent additional transitions of the voltage level of the high side switch signal for a period of time.

摘要: A half bridge GaN circuit is disclosed. The half bridge GaN circuit includes a first power node having a first power voltage, where the first power voltage is referenced to a switch voltage at the switch node. The half bridge GaN circuit also includes a VMID power node having a VMID power voltage, where the VMID power voltage is referenced to the first power voltage and is less than the first power voltage by a DC voltage. The half bridge GaN circuit also includes a logic circuit, where a negative power terminal of the logic circuit is connected to the VMID node, and where a positive power terminal of the first logic circuit is connected to the first power node, where the logic circuit is configured to generate a logic output voltage, which controls the conductivity of the high side power switch.

摘要: A circuit is disclosed. The circuit includes a current detecting FET, configured to generate a current signal indicative of the value of the current flowing therethrough, an operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) configured to output a current in response to the voltage of the current signal, and a resistor configured to receive the current and to generate a voltage in response to the received current, where the generated voltage is indicative of the value of the current flowing through the current detecting FET. The current detecting FET is configured to become nonconductive in response to the generated voltage indicating that the current flowing through the current detecting FET is greater than a threshold.
