Circuit Description

The GS65011-EVBEZ EVB is a GaN-based open-loop DC/DC Boost converter. It is

assembled with the EZDrive

(TL1454ACNSR) and a 650V 5×6 mm PDFN package GaN E-HEMT, (GS-065-011-1-L).

The PWM control signal is generated internally by the PWM controller, U2.

The EZDrive

uses a Si MOSFET controller to drive a GaN HEMT which has a lower

threshold voltage. The EZDrive

low-cost, low component-count circuit composed of two Zener diodes, one capacitor,

three resistors and one diode.

•

Mode 1: Assuming the Vcc of the controller is 12V, controller output is ON, the

driving voltage on the GaN E-HEMT is clamped to 6V by Zener diode ZD

rest of the Vcc, 6V, is stored across the capacitor C

Mode 2: The voltage stored in the C

can be turned off quickly.

Through this circuit, the Si MOSFET PWM controller's output voltage is converted to the

proper voltage thresholds for driving GaN Systems' E-HEMTs.
