3.3.3 LMG2100R044 - 100-V, 35-A GaN Half-Bridge Power Stage

The LMG2100R044 device is an 80-V continuous, 100-V pulsed, 35-A half-bridge power stage, with integrated gate-driver and enhancement-mode Gallium Nitride (GaN) FETs. The device consists of two 100-V GaN FETs driven by one high-frequency 80-V GaN FET driver in a half-bridge configuration. GaN FETs provide significant advantages for power conversion since GaN FETs have near-zero reverse recovery and very small input capacitance CISS and output capacitance COSS. All the devices are mounted on a completely bond-wire free package platform with minimized package parasitic elements. The LMG2100R044 device is available in a 5.5-mm × 4.5-mm × 0.89-mm lead-free package and can be easily mounted on PCBs. The TTL logic-compatible inputs can withstand input voltages up to 12 V regardless of the VCC voltage. The proprietary bootstrap voltage clamping technique provides the gate voltages of the enhancement mode GaN FETs are within a safe operating range. The device extends advantages of discrete GaN FETs by offering a more user-friendly interface. This device is an excellent choice for applications requiring high-frequency, high-efficiency operation in a small form factor.
