3 Description

The LMG2610 is a 650-V GaN power-FET half bridge

intended for < 75-W active-clamp flyback (ACF)

converters in switch mode power supply applications.

The LMG2610 simplifies design, reduces component

count, and reduces board space by integrating halfbridge

power FETs, gate drivers, bootstrap diode, and

high-side gate-drive level shifter in a 9-mm by 7-mm

QFN package.

The asymmetric GaN FET resistances are optimized

for ACF operating conditions. Programmable turnon

slew rates provide EMI and ringing control.

The low-side current-sense emulation reduces power

dissipation compared to the traditional current-sense

resistor and allows the low-side thermal pad to be

connected to the cooling PCB power ground.

The high-side gate-drive signal level shifter eliminates

noise and burst-mode power dissipation problems

found with external solutions. The smart-switched

GaN bootstrap FET has no diode forward-voltage

drop, avoids overcharging the high-side supply, and

has zero reverse-recovery charge.

The LMG2610 supports converter light-load efficiency

requirements and burst-mode operation with low

quiescent currents and fast start-up times. Protection

features include FET turn-on interlock, under-voltage

lockout (UVLO), cycle-by-cycle current limit, and overtemperature

shut down.
