The two bootstrap diodes shown in the schematic are used for symmetry purposes in characterization. In practice, only the HSB diode is required. Removing the LSB diode will result in higher low-side supply voltage since the diode drop is eliminated. As a result, the dead-time resistor can be adjusted to compensate for any changes in propagation delay.

The PE29100 favors applications requiring higher switching speeds due to the reduced parasitic properties of the high resistivity insulating substrate inherent with Peregrine's UltraCMOS process. N O R T EP F LA OR C N E E W W IT D H E PE SI G 29 N 10 S 2 The driver uses a single-ended pulse width modulation (PWM) input that feeds a dead-time controller, capable of generating a small and accurate dead-time. The dead-time circuit prevents shoot-through current in the output stage. The propagation delay of the dead-time controller must be small to meet the fast switching requirements when driving eGaN FETs. The differential outputs of the dead-time controller are then level-shifted from a low-voltage domain to a high-voltage domain required by the output drivers. Each of the output drivers includes two separate pull-up and pull-down outputs allowing independent control of the turn-on and turn-off gate loop resistance. The low impedance output of the drivers improves external power FETs switching speed and efficiency, and minimizes the effects of the voltage rise time (dv/dt) transients. Under-voltage Lockout An internal under-voltage lockout (UVLO) feature prevents the PE29100 from powering up before input voltage rises above the UVLO threshold of 3.6V (typ), and 200 mV (typ) of hysteresis is built in to prevent false triggering of the UVLO circuit. The UVLO must be cleared and the EN pin must be released before the part will be enabled. Dead-time Adjustment The PE29100 features a dead-time adjustment that allows the user to control the timing of the LS and HS gates to eliminate any large shoot-through currents, which could dramatically reduce the efficiency of the circuit and potentially damage the eGaN FETs. Two external resistors control the timing of outputs in the dead-time controller block. The timing waveforms are illustrated in Figure 6. The dead-time resistors only affect the LS output; the HS output will always equal the duty-cycle of the input. The HS FET gate node will track the duty cycle of the PWM input with a shift in the response, as both rising and falling edges are shifted in the same direction. The LS FET gate node duty cycle can be controlled with the dead-time resistors as each resistor will move the rising and falling edges in opposite directions. RDLH will change the dead-time from low-side gate (LSG) falling to high-side gate (HSG) rising and RDHL will change the dead-time from HSG falling to LSG rising. Figure 7 shows the resulting dead-time versus the external resistor values with both HS and LS bias diode/capacitors installed as indicated in Figure 2. The LS bias diode and capacitor is included for symmetry only and is not required for the part to function. Removing the LS bias diode will increase the LSG voltage by approximately 0.3V, resulting in a wider separation of the tDHL and tDLH curves in Figure 7.

The PE29100 is designed to provide a LS gate driver, referenced to ground, and a floating HS gate driver referenced to the switch node (HSS). A common technique to generate the floating HS gate drive uses a bootstrap diode in conjunction with a decoupling capacitor. However, if the LS device conducts currents through its body diode during the dead-time period, an overvoltage condition across the bootstrap capacitor can result. N O R T EP F LA OR C N E E W W IT D H E PE SI G 29 N 10 S 2 A more elegant approach replaces the HS bootstrap diode with an eGaN FET (Q4). The EPC2038 is used as a synchronous bootstrap FET to prevent overvoltage of the HS device. The EPC2038 includes an internal diode and prevents the bootstrap capacitor from overcharging during the dead-time periods. This is accomplished by synchronously switching Q4 using the LSG signal so that Q4 turns on and charges the bootstrap capacitor when LSG is high, but turns off as soon as LSG turns low so that no inadvertent bootstrap overcharging occurs during the dead-time periods. The external gate resistors are required to de-Q the inductance in the gate loop and dampen any ringing on the FET gates and the SW node. Dead-time resistors RDHL and RDLH can be adjusted to compensate for any changes in propagation delay. Note: * For applications greater than 30V in a half-bridge configuration, the PE29100 can be sensitive to high dv/dt conditions on HSS.

The EVB is assembled with a PE29100 driver and two EPC8009 eGaN FETs in a half-bridge configuration. VDD is applied at J1 to bias the driver. VIN is applied to the multipin connector, J3, to supply power to the GaN FETs. A PWM signal with an adjustable duty cycle is applied to J2 as the input. VIN can be monitored at test points E1 and E2, while the DC output can be monitored at test points E3 and E4. The switched output node can be observed on an oscilloscope at J3. N O R T EP F LA OR C N E E W W IT D H E PE SI G 29 N 10 S 2 Because the PE29100 is capable of generating fast switching speeds, the printed circuit board (PCB) layout is a critical component of the design. The layout should occupy a small area with the power FETs and external bypass capacitors placed as close as possible to the driver to reduce any resonances associated with the gate loops, common source and power loop inductances. Since the maximum allowable gate-to-source voltage for eGaN FETs is 6V, resonance in the gate loops can generate ringing that can degrade the performance and potentially damage the power devices due to high voltage spikes. Additionally, it is important to keep ground paths short. The PCB is fabricated on FR4 material, with a total thickness of 0.062 inches. A minimum copper thickness of 1 ounce or more is recommended on the PCB outer layers to limit resistive losses and improve thermal spreading.
