Abstract

A power drive circuit is disclosed. The power circuit includes: a pulse detector, configured to generate first and second control signals in response to first and second pulse signals, respectively. The power drive circuit also includes a state storage device, configured to generate first and second driver input signals in response to the first and second control signals, respectively. The power drive circuit also includes a driver configured to generate first and second gate drive signals in response to the first and second driver input signals, respectively. The power drive circuit also includes a power switch, configured to receive the first and second gate drive signals, where the first and second gate drive signals control the power switch to selectively conduct or not conduct currentbetween first and second terminals.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 511,039, filed May 25, 2017, entitled "GAN FET WITH INTEGRATED PULSEDETECTION CIRCUIT," the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety for all Purpose. technical field [0003] The described embodiments relate generally to gallium nitride semiconductors, and more specifically, to power switches controlled by pulse detection circuits. Background technique [0004] Existing integrated circuits include GaN power FETs together with gate drivers and are available in a single monolithic package. This allows a standard PWM signal (from a microcontroller or PWM controller IC) to be used as a simple input for switching the power FETs on and off. Products such as those illustrated in Figure 1 include a VCC supply pin, a PWM gate drive input, a VDD supply pin, a DZ Zener reference pin, a power FET drain connection, an...
