Description

High-reliability GaN power tube rapid gate drive circuit
Technical Field
The utility model belongs to the integrated circuit field especially relates to a quick gate pole drive circuit of high reliable gaN power tube.
Background
GaN High Electron Mobility Transistors (HEMTs) have high off-state breakdown strength and excellent channel conductivity in the on-state, and are a development trend for high frequency high power density switching power transistors. The breakdown strength of GaN material is 10 times higher than Si compared to Si, which means that for a given device size, 10 times more voltage can be applied to the GaN device compared to Si devices, and a more compact GaN device has as low on-resistance as possible since the specific on-resistance Ron is proportional to the length of the device drift region required to maintain a given breakdown voltage. Furthermore, the HEMT electron transfer characteristics of GaN devices are almost two orders of magnitude lower in specific on-resistance compared to Si power devices with the same voltage rating. Thus, GaN devices achieve both high breakdown voltage and high current levels, i.e., have high switching frequencies at high power levels.
GaN devices also have some drawbacks themselves. Firstly, the device has no avalanche voltage rating, so the gate drive is very critical, the absolute maximum voltage rating is typically only plus or minus 10V, and when the gate drive voltage is less than 5V, the dynamic on-resistance performance of the GaN device is deteriorated. In addition, the ultra-fast turn-on speed of GaN devices can result in poor EMI characteristics. In addition, enhancement mode (E-mode) GaN is generally a normally-off device, and its gate turn-on threshold of about 1.5V is also lower than that of about 3.5V of Si device, and the gate turn-on threshold is low and is prone to misturn-on in application. It is critical that the expected advantages of low loss, high power density, and high reliability be achieved, depending on the gate drive circuit having robust protection characteristics.
Therefore, highly reliable gate drive is critical to GaN device performance.
