AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

GaN switching devices lack avalanche breakdown capability in flyback converters, leading to device damage during high voltage spikes. Existing technologies struggle to effectively control voltage spikes.

Method used

A voltage spike absorption controller is designed, comprising a VCC node, a GND node, a CTRL node, a DS node, a voltage regulator, a voltage divider, a comparator, a driver, and an OR gate. By sensing the drain-source voltage, it generates a control signal to turn on the nitride-based switching device and absorb transient voltage spikes.

Benefits of technology

It effectively absorbs transient voltage spikes, preventing the voltage stress on the drain terminal of the GaN switch from exceeding the breakdown voltage and protecting the device from damage.
