High Speed Half-Bridge Driver for GaN Power Switches
NCP51810
The NCP51810 high−speed, gate driver is designed to meet the stringent requirements of driving enhancement mode (e−mode), high electron mobility transistor (HEMT), gallium nitrade (GaN) power switches in medium−voltage half−bridge DC−DC application. The NCP51810 offers short and matched propagation delays with advanced level shift technology providing −3.5 V to +150 V (typical) common mode voltage range for the high−side drive and −3.5 V to +3.5 V common mode voltage range for the low−side drive. In addition, the device provides stable dV/dt operation rated up to 200 V/ns for both driver output stages in high speed switching applications.
