Description
IGI60F2020A1L combines a half -bridge power stage consisting of two 200 m (typ. Rdson) / 600 V enhancement- mode CoolGaNTM HEMTs with dedicated gate drivers in a small 8 x 8 mm QFN -28 package. In the low-to-medium power area (example application in Figure 1) it is thus ideally suited to support the design of high-density AC/DC chargers and adapters utilizing the superior switching behavior of CoolGaNTM HEMTs. Infineon’s CoolGaNTM and related power switches provide a very robust gate structure. When driven by a continuous gate current of a few mA in the “on” state, a minimum on-resistance Rdson is always guaranteed.

Final Datasheet 2 of 35 V1.1 2023-05-05 IGI60F2020A1L CoolGaNTM Integrated Power Stage Due to the GaN -specific low threshold voltage and the fast switching transients, a negative gate drive voltage is required in certain applications to both enable fast turn-off and avoid cross-conduction effects. This can be achieved by the well -known RC interface between driver and switch. A few external SMD resistors and c aps enable easy adaptation to different power topologies. The driver utilizes on -chip coreless transformer technology (CT) to achieve signal level -shifting to the high -side. Further, CT guarantees robustness even for extremely fast switching transients abo ve 300 V/ns.

2 Functional description
2.1 Block Diagram
A simplified functional block diagram of the CoolGaNTM Power Stage is given in Figure 3. For the level -shifting function of the input signal to the high -side switch an on -chip coreless transformer (CT) is utilized. F or symmetry reasons a CT is also included in the low-side path, resulting in both a galvanic input -to-output and high-to-low-side isolation. In addition, this CT separates the low-side gate driver reference (SL) fro m GNDI allowing to use a shunt resistor for current sensing as shown in Figure 1.

2.2 Power supply
Basically, the Power Stage requires 3 supply voltages: a ground-related 3.3 V (VDDI) for the driver input circuitry, another ground-related 8 V (VDDL) for the low-side driver and a floating 8 V (VDDH) for the high-side driver. However, in most application s a single 8 V supply is sufficient, as V DDI and V DDH can be simply generated from V DDL. Independent Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) functions for all supply voltages ensure a defined start -up and robust functionality under all operating conditions. All driver supply currents stay in the few mA range, as described in Table 9, resp. However, in particular applications a further power reduction in stand -by mode might be benef icial. Then a complete elimination of the supply currents can be achieved by implementing a simple circuit with a bipolar transistor as a supply switch controlled by the Enable signal.
2.2.1 Driver input supply voltage
The driver input die is supplied via VDDI with a nominal voltage of 3.3 V. The Undervoltage Lockout threshold, defining the minimum VDDI, is set to typically 2.85 V. Power consumption to some extent depends on switching frequency, as the input signal is converted into a train of repetitive current pulses to drive the CT. Due to the chosen robust encoding scheme the average repetition rate of these pulses and thus the average supply current depends on the switching frequency fsw. However, for fsw < 500 kHz this effect is very small. If no separate 3.3 V supply is available, the input side can also be operated with VDDL (typically 8 V). Then the shunt LDO voltage regulator (SLDO) has to be enabled by connecting pin SLDON (pin#23) to GNDI. The SLDO regulates the current through an external resistor R VDDI connected between VDDL and pin VDDI as depicted in Figure 1 to generate the required voltage drop. For proper operation it has to be ensured that the current through R VDDI always exceeds the maximum supply current IVDDI of the input chip; but not too small to casue a high power dissipation and significant impact on the total system efficiency. RVDDI thus has to fulfil: 𝑅𝑉𝐷𝐷𝐼 < 𝑉𝐷𝐷𝐿,𝑚𝑖𝑛 − 3.3 𝑉 𝐼𝑉𝐷𝐷𝐼,𝑚𝑎𝑥 (1) A typical choice for V DDL = 8 V would be R VDDI = 1 k, resulting in sufficient margin between resistor current and maximum operating current. Dynamic current peaks are provided by a blockin g cap (10 to 22 nF) between VDDI and GNDI. Table 3 shows proper RVDDI values for different supply voltages VDDL.. Table 3 Proper RVDDI values for different VDDL VDDL RVDDI SLDO
3.3 V no resistor (connect VDDL to VDDI pin) Disabled
5.0 V 360 Enabled
8.0 V 1.0 k Enabled 12.0 V 1.8 k Enabled
2.2.2 Driver output supply voltages
Both output dice have to be supplied by a voltage of typically 8 V related to the source of the respective GaN switch. In many applications the floating high-side supply VDDH can be generated from the ground-related VDDL by means of bootstrapping (components D boot, C boot and R boot in Figure 1). A ceramic bypass capacitance CVDDL of typically 100 nF has to be placed close to pin VDDL.
Final Datasheet 8 of 35 V1.1 2023-05-05 IGI60F2020A1L CoolGaNTM Integrated Power Stage For both driver output stages the minimum operating supply voltage is set by independent undervoltage lockout functions (UVLOout).
2.3 Input configurations
The inputs INL and INH are two independent logic (PWM) channels. The input signal is transferred non-inverted to the corresponding gate driver outputs OUTL and OUTH. All inputs are compatible with LV-TTL threshold levels with a hysteresis of typ. 0.8 V. The hysteresis is independent of the supply voltage VDDI. The PWM inputs are internally pulled down to a logic low voltage level (GNDI ). In case the PWM -controller signals have an undefined state during the power -up sequence, the gate driver outputs are forced to the "off" -state (low). If the Enable input is low, both channel outputs are driven to “low”, regardless of the state of INL or INH. Table 4 shows the logic table in normal operation. Table 4 Logic table ( UVLO input inactive, both output side UVLO inactive; normal operation) Inputs Gate Drive Ouput Enable INL INH OUTL OUTH L x x L L H L L L L H L H L H H H L H L H H H H H
2.4 Driver outputs
The rail-to-rail gate driver output stage realized with complementary MOS transistors is able to provide a typical 1 A sourcing and 2 A sinking current. This is by far sufficient when driving the GaN HEMTs due to their low gate charge. In addition, the relatively low driver output resistance is beneficial, too. With an Ron of 3.1 for the sourcing pMOS and 1.2 for the sinking nMOS transistor the driver can be considered as nearly ideal. The gate drive parameters can thus be determined easily and accurately by the external components as described in chapter 4. The p-channel sourcing transistor allows real rail-to-rail behavior without suffering from a source follower's voltage drop.
2.5 Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
The Undervoltage Lockout function ensures that the gate drive outputs can be switched to their high level only, if both input and output supply voltages exceed the corresp onding UVLO threshold voltages. Thus it can be guaranteed, that the GaN switches are in “off” state, if the driving voltage is too low for complete and fast switching on, thereby avoiding excessive power dissipation and keeping the switch transistors within their safe operating area (SOA). The UVLO levels for the output supplies VDDL and VDDH are set to a typical “on”-value of 4.2 V (with 0.3 V hysteresis), whereas UVLOin for VDDI is set to 2.85 V with 0.15 V hysteresis. Table 5 shows the logic table in the condition that input or outputs are in UVLO active or inactive condition.

2.6 Start-up and active clamping
Special attention has been paid to cover all possible operating conditions, like start -up or arbitrary supply voltage situations: - if VDDI drops below UVLOin, a “switch-to-low” command is sent to both outputs OUTL and OUTH - for VDDL and/or VDDH lower than the respective UVLO levels, a new fast active clamping circuit provides a low-impedance path from the gate driver outputs OUTL and OUTH to their r espective grounds SL and SW. As soon as the output voltage exceeds a low threshold level (typically below 1 V), the clamp is activated within approximately 20 ns. As the result, safe operation of the GaN Power Stage can be guaranteed under any circumstances.
2.7 CT Communication and Data Transmission
A Coreless Transformer (CT) based communication module is used for PWM signal transfer between input and outputs. A proven high -resolution pulse repetition scheme in the transmitter co mbined with a watchdog time -out at the receiver side enables recovery from communication fails and ensures safe system shut -down in failure cases.
2.8 CoolGaNTM output stage
The output stage consists of t wo CoolGaNTM 600V switches in half -bridge configuration . The switches are characterized by a typical Rdson of 200 m @ 25 °C. And thanks to the current driving concept, this value increases by a comparably moderate 85 % @ 150 °C. As typical for GaN, gate and output c harges are very small (3 and 16 nC, resp.) an d there is no reverse recovery charge due to the lack of a physical body diode (for more information please refer to [1]).

Figure 4 depicts rise, fall and delay times measured at the GaN half -bridge output SW . Figure 5 shows the associated test circuit. The power stage is operated in a boost configuration at a constant current I load. In this so - called double-pulse arrangement I load is determined by the high -voltage supply (400 V), the output inductance and the length of the first “on”-phase of the INL-signal. The specified delay and transient times are related to an Iload value of 2 A (particularly the “off” transient strongly depends on this cu rrent). INH need not be switched for this measurement.

4 Driving CoolGaNTM HEMTs
Although Gallium Nitride High Electron Mobility Transistors (GaN HEMTs) with ohmic connection to a pGaN gate are robust enhancement-mode (“normally-off”) devices, they differ significantly from MOSFETs. The gate module is not isolated from the channel, but behaves like a diode with a forward voltage VF of 3 to 4 V. Equivalent circuit and typical gate input characteristic are given in Figure 7. In the steady “on” state a continuous gate current is required to achieve stable operating conditions. The switch is “normally -off”, but the threshold voltage V th is rather low (~ +1 V). This is why in many applic ations a negative gate voltage -VN, typically in the range of several Volts, is required to safely keep the switch “off” (Figure 7b). Figure 7 Equivalent circuit (a) and gate input characteristics (b) of typical normally-off GaN HEMT Obviously the transistor in Figure 7 cannot be driven like a conventional MOSFET due to the need for a steady-state “on” current Iss and a negative “off” voltage –VN. While an Iss of a few mA is sufficient, fast switching transients require gate charging currents Ion and Ioff in the 1 A range. To avoid a dedicated driver with 2 separate “on” paths and bipolar supply voltage, the solution depicted in Figure 8 is usually chosen, combining a standard gate driver with a passive RC circuit to achieve the intended behavior. The high -current paths containing the small gate resistors R on and Roff, respectively, are connected to the gate via a coupling capacitance C C. CC is chosen to have no significant effect on the dynamic gate currents Ion and Ioff. In parallel to the high-current charging path the much larger resistor R ss forms a direct gate connection to continuously deliver the small steady-state gate current Iss. In addition, CC can be used to generate a negative gate voltage. Obviously, in the “on” -state CC is charged to the difference of driver supply V DD and diode voltage V F. When switching off , this charge is redistributed between C C and CGS and causes an initial negative VGS of value: 𝑉𝑁 = 𝐶𝐶 ∙ (𝑉𝐷𝐷 − 𝑉𝐹) − 𝑄𝐺 𝐶𝐶 + 𝐶𝐺𝑆 (2) with QG denoting the total gate charge . VN can thus be controlled by proper choice o f VDD and CC. During the „off“ state the negative V GS decreases, as C C is discharged via R SS. The associated time constant cannot be chosen independently, but is related to the steady-state current and is typically in the 1 s range. The negative gate voltage at the end of the “off” phase (VNf in Figure 8b) thus depends on the “off” duration. It lowers the effective driver voltage for the following switching -on event, resulting in a slight dependence of switching dynamics on frequency and duty cycle. However, in most applications the impact of this effect is negligible. Another situation requires attention, too. If there is by any reason a longer period with both switches of a half -bridge in “off”-state (e.g. duri ng system start -up, burst mode operation etc.), both capacitors C C will be discharged. That

To avoid instabilities due to spurious turn-on effects in such a situation, CC should not be chosen lower than 1 nF.

If this is not acceptable by any reason, an additional resistor Roff with series diode in parallel with Rtr can be used to realize independent gate impedances for the “on” and “off” transient, respectively. All relev ant driving parameters are easily programmable by choosing V DD, Rss, R tr, Roff and C C according to the relations 𝑉𝑁 = 𝐶𝐶 ∙ (𝑉𝐷𝐷 − 𝑉𝐹) − 𝑄𝐺 𝐶𝐶 + 𝐶𝐺𝑆 (3) 𝐼𝑠𝑠 = 𝑉𝐷𝐷 − 𝑉𝐹 𝑅𝑠𝑠 , 𝐼𝑜𝑛,𝑚𝑎𝑥~ 𝑉𝐷𝐷 − 𝑉𝑁𝑓 𝑅𝑡𝑟 , 𝐼𝑜𝑓𝑓,𝑚𝑎𝑥~ (𝑉𝑡ℎ + 𝑉𝑁) ∙ (𝑅𝑜𝑓𝑓 + 𝑅𝑡𝑟) 𝑅𝑜𝑓𝑓 ∙ 𝑅𝑡𝑟 The main guidelines for dimensioning gate drive parameters are as follows: - VN must always be positive; a target value of 2 V in soft-switching and 4 V to 5 V in hard-switching systems is recommended - The target value of Iss is around 3 mA, Rss has to be chosen accordingly - Rtr sets the transient speed for a hard switching “on” event. Due to the low gate charge, values above 50 typically do not result in significant benefits. For soft switching systems R tr is anyway uncritical. - If a separate Roff is used, it should guarantee sufficient damping of oscillations in the gate loop. For a given driving voltage the values for the gate drive components can now be derived from equations ( 3). VDD = 8 V, for example, yields - CC = 1.2 nF - Rss = 2 k - Rtr = 27 … 68 - Roff = 10 (if used) For more information regarding how to drive GaN HEMT refer to [2] [3].

8 Layout guidelines
Figure 23 shows the suggested arrangement of the power stage and the external components on the PCB based on the schematic shown in the Figure 24. Figure 25 and Figure 26 show the top and bottom layer of the PCB. The following layout recommendations should be considered: 1. On the exposed pads’ landing area place vias with 0.3mm hole size with <0.7mm space (center to center) 2. Use solder mask expansion of 0.05~0.075mm for the chipset footprint pins and pads 3. Place and align the GND trace (PGND node for power return) beneath the DC bus trace on the top layer to minimize the inductance loop in the power path. 4. For the low voltage controller reference (DGND) on the PGND trace select a location free of any switching current to avoid switching-induced noise in DGND ( do not connect the DGND trace to any trace which connects the bypass cap to CoolGaNTM).
