100V Half-Bridge GaN Driver with Smart Integrated Bootstrap Switch

Overview

TopologyHalf-Bridge Converter symmetrical isolated
Input voltage80 V
Switching frequency100-10000 kHz
Output 180 V / 10 A

Description

The EVAL-LT8418-AZ evaluation circuit features the LT8418 driving two 100V enhanced Gallium Nitride (eGaN) FETs in a half-bridge configuration. The circuit is optimized as a buck converter, but it can be used as a boost converter or other converter topologies consisting of a half-bridge. The evaluation circuit can deliver up to 10A with good thermal management.

Features

  • Half-Bridge Gate Driver for GaN FETs

    • 0.6Ω Pull-Up Resistance at Top Gate Driver

    • 0.2Ω Pull-Down Resistance at Bottom Gate Driver

    • 4A Peak Source, 8A Peak Sink Current Capability

    • Smart Integrated Bootstrap Switch

    • Split-Gate-Driver to Adjust Turn-On/Turn-Off Strength

    • Default Low-State for All Driver Inputs and Outputs

    • Maximum 15V Voltage Rating at INT and INB Inputs

    • Independent INT, INB Inputs with TTL Logic Compatible

    • Fast Propagation Delay: 10ns (Typical)

    • Propagation Delay Matching: 1.5ns (Typical)

    • Balanced Driver Supply Voltage: VBST ≈ VCC = 3.85V – 5.5V

    • Undervoltage and Overvoltage Lockout Protections

    • Small 12-Ball WLCSP Package
