The LMG2652 is a
650V 140mΩ GaN power-FET half bridge. The LMG2652 simplifies design, reduces component count, and reduces
board space by integrating half-bridge power FETs, gate drivers, bootstrap diode,
and high-side gate-drive level shifter in a 6mm by 8mm QFN package.
The
low-side current-sense emulation reduces power dissipation compared to the
traditional current-sense resistor and allows the low-side thermal pad to be
connected to the cooling PCB power ground.
The high-side GaN power FET can be
controlled with either the low-side referenced gate-drive pin (INH) or the high-side
referenced gate-drive pin (GDH). The high-side gate-drive signal level shifter
reliably transmits the INH pin signal to the high-side gate driver in challenging
power switching environments. The smart-switched GaN bootstrap FET has no diode
forward-voltage drop, avoids overcharging the high-side supply, and has zero
reverse-recovery charge.
The LMG2652 supports
converter light-load efficiency requirements and burst-mode operation with low
quiescent currents and fast start-up times. Protection features include FET turn-on
interlock, under-voltage lockout (UVLO), cycle-by-cycle current limit, and
over-temperature shut down.
