摘要: An electronic circuit is disclosed. The electronic circuit includes a transistor having a gate terminal, a source terminal and a drain terminal, and a gate driver circuit including a pull-down transistor coupled to the gate terminal, and an input terminal arranged to receive an input signal and generate a corresponding output signal at an output terminal coupled to the gate terminal, where the gate driver circuit is arranged to store energy harvested from the input signal and use the stored energy to change a conductive state of the pull-down transistor. In one aspect, the transistor includes gallium nitride (GaN). In another aspect, the pull-down transistor includes GaN.

摘要: An electronic power conversion component includes an electrically conductive package base comprising a source terminal, a drain terminal, at least one I/O terminal and a die-attach pad wherein the source terminal is electrically isolated from the die-attach pad. A GaN-based semiconductor die is secured to the die attach pad and includes a power transistor having a source and a drain, wherein the source is electrically coupled to the source terminal and the drain is electrically coupled to the drain terminal. A plurality of wirebonds electrically couple the source to the source terminal and the drain to the drain terminal. An encapsulant is formed over the GaN-based semiconductor die, the plurality of wirebonds and at least a top surface of the package base.
