2.2.2 DC Side

Figure 2-2 shows the DC input side schematic. This image illustrates the shunt current sensing network based on INA185. The INA185 is a bidirectional, current-sense amplifier (also called a current-shunt monitor) that senses the voltage drop across a 1mΩ current-sense resistor. The INA185A3 version has a gain of 100V/V and a reference of 1.65V. These parameters result in the input current range of ±16.5A. The voltage sensing is based on the low-cost TLV9002 operational amplifier.

TIDA-010954 Full-Bridge Converter Figure 2-3 Full-Bridge Converter

Figure 2-3 shows the full-bridge converter is comprised of two LMG2100R026 power stages. The LMG2100R026 is half-bridge power stage with integrated gate-driver and enhancement-mode Gallium Nitride (GaN) FETs. GaN FETs provide significant advantages for power conversion because these FETs have zero reverse recovery and a very small output capacitance, COSS.
