Product Description
D
The PE29102 is an integrated high-speed driver designed to control the gates of external power devices, such
as enhancement mode gallium nitride (GaN) FETs. The outputs of the PE29102 are capable of providing
switching transition speeds in the sub-nanosecond range for switching applications up to 40 MHz. The PE29102
is optimized for matched dead time and offers best-in-class propagation delay to improve system bandwidth.
High switching speeds result in smaller peripheral components and enable innovative designs for applications
such as class D audio and wireless charging. The PE29102 is available in a flip chip package.

Figure 5 shows the test circuit used for obtaining measurements. The two bootstrap diodes shown in the
schematic are used for symmetry purposes in characterization. In practice, only the HSB diode is required.
Removing the LSB diode will result in higher low-side supply voltage since the diode drop is eliminated. As a
result, the dead-time resistor can be adjusted to compensate for any changes in propagation delay.

PE29102
High-speed FET Driver
Theory of Operation
General
LI
FE
The PE29102 is intended to drive both the high-side (HS) and the low-side (LS) gates of external power FETs,
such as enhancement mode GaN FETs, for power management applications. The PE29102 is suited for applications requiring higher switching speeds due to the reduced parasitic properties of the high resistivity insulating
substrate inherent with Peregrine’s UltraCMOS process.
The driver uses a single-ended pulse width modulation (PWM) input that feeds a dead-time controller, capable
of generating a small and accurate dead-time. The dead-time circuit prevents shoot-through current in the
output stage. The propagation delay of the dead-time controller must be small to meet the fast switching requirements when driving GaN FETs. The differential outputs of the dead-time controller are then level-shifted from a
low-voltage domain to a high-voltage domain required by the output drivers.
Each of the output drivers includes two separate pull-up and pull-down outputs allowing independent control of
the turn-on and turn-off gate loop resistance. The low impedance output of the drivers improves external power
FETs switching speed and efficiency, and minimizes the effects of the voltage rise time (dv/dt) transients.
Under-voltage Lockout
Dead-time Adjustment
F
An internal under-voltage lockout (UVLO) feature prevents the PE29102 from powering up before input voltage
rises above the UVLO threshold of 3.6V (typ), and 400 mV (typ) of hysteresis is built in to prevent false
triggering of the UVLO circuit. The UVLO must be cleared and the EN pin must be released before the part will
be enabled.
O
The PE29102 features a dead-time adjustment that allows the user to control the timing of the LS and HS gates
to eliminate any large shoot-through currents, which could dramatically reduce the efficiency of the circuit and
potentially damage the GaN FETs. Two external resistors control the timing of outputs in the dead-time
controller block. The timing waveforms are illustrated in Figure 6.
EN
D
The dead-time resistors only affect the rising edge of the low-side gate (LSG) and high-side gate (HSG) outputs.
Dead-time resistor RDLH will delay the rising edge of HSG, thus providing the desired dead-time between LSG
falling and HSG rising. Likewise, dead-time resistor RDHL will delay the rising edge of LSG, thus providing the
desired dead-time between HSG falling and LSG rising. Figure 7 shows the resulting dead-time versus the
external resistor values with both HS and LS bias diode/capacitors installed as indicated in Figure 5. The LS
bias diode and capacitor are included for symmetry only and are not required for the part to function. Removing
the LS bias diode will increase the LSG voltage by approximately 0.3V, resulting in a wider separation of the tDHL
and tDLH curves in Figure 7.
Phase Control
Pin 10 (PHCTL) controls the polarity of the gate driver outputs. When PHCTL is low, the HSG will be in phase
with the input signal. When PHCTL is high, the LSG will be in phase with the input signal. The PHCTL pin
includes an internal pull-down resistor and can be left floating.

Application Circuit
LI
FE
Figure 8 shows a class-D audio amplifier application diagram using two PE29102 gate drivers in a full-bridge
configuration. The full-bridge circuit comprises two half bridge topologies that share a common supply and load.
The low-level logic circuitry is powered by the gate drive regulator that supplies the PE29102 drivers, logic buffer
and phase splitter. The PWM input signal feeds a single logic buffer, which drives a common logic X-OR gate
Phase Splitter that provides phase inverted signals to each driver. VIN is designed to operate at 60V DC (max.)
to provide between 100 — 120W of power into an 8Ω load.

Evaluation Board
The PE29102 evaluation board (EVB) allows the user to evaluate the PE29102 gate driver in either a full-bridge
configuration or two independent half-bridge configurations. The EVB is assembled with two PE29102 FET
drivers and four GS61004B E-mode GaN FETs. Refer to Peregrine Semiconductor DOC-82956 for more information.
LI
FE
Because the PE29102 is capable of generating fast switching speeds, the printed circuit board (PCB) layout is a
critical component of the design. The layout should occupy a small area with the power FETs and external
bypass capacitors placed as close as possible to the driver to reduce any resonances associated with the gate
loops, common source and power loop inductances. Since the maximum allowable gate-to-source voltage for
the GS61004B FETs is 7V, resonance in the gate loops can generate ringing that can degrade the performance
and potentially damage the power devices due to high voltage spikes. Additionally, it is important to keep ground
paths short.
The PCB is fabricated on FR4 material, with a total thickness of 0.062 inches. A minimum copper thickness of
1.5 ounces or more is recommended on the PCB outer layers to limit resistive losses and improve thermal
spreading.
