TI announced a co-packaged 650V GaN half bridge and driver at APEC in Florida this week, intended for use in active-clamp fly-back dc-dc converters delivering less that 75W. Called LMG2610, the IC includes a pair of GaN transistors in a half-bridge, gate drivers, a bootstrap diode and a high-side gate-drive level shifter, all in a  ...
