Abstract
Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology enables essential progress in energy efficiency and density, especially in off-line power supplies. This letter presents a monolithic GaN-IC, including a half-bridge, formed by two high-voltage power FETs with respective gate drivers and a high-voltage level shifter, forming a signal interface between high-side and low-side domain, making use of a GaN-on-SOI technology. Verified by experimental results, it achieves 500-V switching at 6.25 MHz and is thus well suited for off-line power supplies.
