3 Description

The LMG342xR050 GaN FET with integrated driver

and protection enables designers to achieve new

levels of power density and efficiency in power

electronics systems.

The LMG342xR050 integrates a silicon driver that

enables switching speed up to 150 V/ns. TI’s

integrated precision gate bias results in higher

switching SOA compared to discrete silicon gate

drivers. This integration, combined with TI's lowinductance

package, delivers clean switching and

minimal ringing in hard-switching power supply

topologies. Adjustable gate drive strength allows

control of the slew rate from 20 V/ns to 150 V/ns,

which can be used to actively control EMI and

optimize switching performance. The LMG3425R050

includes ideal diode mode, which reduces thirdquadrant

losses by enabling adaptive dead-time

control.

Advanced power management features include digital

temperature reporting and fault detection. The

temperature of the GaN FET is reported through

a variable duty cycle PWM output, which simplifies

managing device loading. Faults reported include

overtemperature, overcurrent, and UVLO monitoring.
