The LMG3410R050 GaN power stage with integrated?driver and protection enables designers to achieve?new levels of power density and efficiency in power?electronics systems. The LMG3410’s inherent?advantages over silicon MOSFETs include ultra-low

input and output capacitance, zero reverse recovery?to reduce switching losses by as much as 80%, and?low switch node ringing to reduce EMI. These?advantages enable dense and efficient topologies like?the totem-pole PFC.

The LMG3410R050 provides a smart alternative to?traditional cascode GaN and standalone GaN FETs?by integrating a unique set of features to simplify?design, maximize reliability and optimize the?performance of any power supply. Integrated gate?drive enables 100V/ns switching with near zero Vds?ringing, <100 ns current limiting self-protects against?unintended shoot-through events, Overtemperature?shutdown prevents thermal runaway, and system?interface signals provide self-monitoring capability.

LMG3410R050 is a high-performance 600-V GaN transistor with integrated gate driver. The GaN transistor?provides ultra-low input and output capacitance and zero reverse recovery. The lack of reverse recovery enables?efficient operation in half-bridge and bridge-based topologies.

TI utilizes a Direct Drive architecture to control the GaN FET within the LMG3410R050. When the driver is?powered up, the GaN FET is controlled directly with the integrated gate driver. This architecture provides?superior switching performance compared with the traditional cascode approach.

The integrated driver solves a number of challenges using GaN devices. The LMG3410R050 contains a driver?specifically tuned to the GaN device for fast driving without ringing on the gate. The driver ensures the device?stays off for high drain slew rates up to 150 V/ns. In addition, the integrated driver protects against faults by?providing overcurrent and overtemperature protection. This feature can protect the system in case of a device?failure, or prevent a device failure in the case of a controller error or malfunction.

Unlike silicon MOSFETs, there is no p-n junction from source to drain in GaN devices. That is why GaN devices?have no reverse recovery losses. However, the GaN device can still conduct from source to drain in 3rd quadrant?of operation similar to a body diode but with higher voltage drop and higher conduction loss. 3rd quadrant?operation can be defined as follows; when the GaN device is turned off and negative current pulls the drain node?voltage to be lower than its source. The voltage drop across GaN device during 3rd quadrant operation is high;?therefore, it is recommended to operate with synchronous switching and keep the duration of 3rd quadrant?operation at minimum.
