研究目的
To discuss the basic techniques for using GaN transistors in high performance power conversion circuits and to understand the similarities and differences between GaN transistors and power MOSFETs.
研究成果
The chapter concludes by summarizing the driver considerations for high-speed GaN transistors, including gate power loop inductance minimization, ground bounce immunity, high dv/dt immunity for high-side drivers, optimized driver packaging and pin-out, separate control of the turn-on and turn-off, and regulation of gate drive supply voltage. The next chapter will focus on layout techniques and ways to minimize the parasitic inductances that have increased importance due to the higher switching speed of GaN transistors.
