Patent number: 11038503Abstract: An enhancement mode GaN FET based gate driver circuit including an active pre-driver to drive a high-slew rate, high current output stage GaN FET. Due to the active driver current from the pre-driver, the output stage pull-up FET can turn on faster as compared to a pre-driver that utilizes a passive pull-up load. The active pre-driver must provide a voltage to drive the gate of the output stage pull-up FET which is higher than the normal supply voltage to enable the maximum output level of the driver FET to approach the normal supply voltage. A feedback circuit is included in the active pre-driver to avoid the need for two supply voltages.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2019Date of Patent: June 15, 2021Assignee: Efficient Power Conversion CorporationInventors: Edward Lee, Ravi Ananth, Michael Chapman, Michael A. de Rooij

Patent number: 10847947Abstract: A laser-diode driver for Lidar applications with an output stage comprised of two enhancement mode GaN FETs. The output stage includes a driver GaN FET in a traditional common-source configuration, with the drain connected to the cathode of a laser diode and the source connected to ground. The gate of the driver GaN FET is driven by the source of the second, substantially smaller GaN FET in a source-follower configuration, rather than being driven directly by a pre-driver. The source-follower GaN FET has its drain connected to the drain of the common-source driver GaN FET, similar to a Darlington connection used in bipolar devices. The input drive signal from the pre-driver is applied at the gate of the source-follower GaN FET. The current required to turn on the driver GaN FET is thereby drawn from a main power supply through the laser diode, rather than from the power supply for the pre-driver, improving overall current efficiency.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2020Date of Patent: November 24, 2020Assignee: Efficient Power Conversion CorporationInventors: Michael Chapman, Ravi Ananth, Edward Lee

Patent number: 10790811Abstract: A cascaded bootstrapping gate driver configured to provide quick turn-on of a high side power FET and low static current consumption. The cascaded bootstrapping gate driver includes an initial bootstrapping stage with a resistor to decrease static current consumption during transistor turn-off. A secondary bootstrapping stage is driven by the initial bootstrapping stage and includes a GaN FET transistor with a low on resistance in place of the resistor. The source terminal of the GaN FET transistor provides a gate driving voltage to the high side power switch FET. The low on-resistance of the GaN FET transistor provides quick turn-on of the high side power FET. Transistors in the cascaded bootstrapping gate driver are preferably enhancement mode GaN FETs and may be integrated into a single semiconductor die.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2019Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: Efficient Power Conversion CorporationInventors: Edward Lee, Ravi Ananth, Michael Chapman, Michael A. de Rooij, Robert Beach

Patent number: 10749514Abstract: A circuit for providing an adjustable output driver current for use in LiDAR or other similar GaN driver applications. The circuit creates an appropriate gate-to-source voltage, VGS, for a high-current GaN driver FET to obtain a desired, high slew-rate driver current, IDRV. An externally provided reference current is used to create the required VGS for the driver FET, which is stored on an external capacitor. The value of the capacitor far exceeds the relatively low input-capacitance of the GaN driver FET. When a pulse IDRV of desired value is needed, the voltage on the capacitor is impinged upon the gate of the driver FET, thereby creating the desired IDRV. The reference charging circuit replenishes any charge lost on the capacitor, so that the same desired IDRV can be obtained on the next command pulse.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2019Date of Patent: August 18, 2020Assignee: Efficient Power Conversion CorporationInventors: Edward Lee, Ravi Ananth, Michael Chapman, John S.

Patent number: 10727834Abstract: A direct-coupled level shifter to level shift a ground referenced input logic signal to an output logic signal that can have either a positive or negative reference. The level shifter includes two level shift drivers, each of which includes a positive level shift driver and a negative level shift driver. The positive level shift drivers operate when the reference of the latch is above ground and turn off when the reference is below ground. Similarly, the negative level shift drivers operate when the reference is below ground and turn off when the reference is above ground. The output logic signal is based on the output from the positive level shift driver receiving the input signal and the output from the negative level shift driver receiving an inverse of the input signal. The inverse of the output logic signal is based on the output from the positive level shift driver receiving an inverse of the input signal and the output from the negative level shift driver receiving the input signal.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2019Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: Efficient Power Conversion CorporationInventors: Edward Lee, Ravi Ananth, Michael Chapman

Publication number: 20200193520Abstract: The present technology is related to employing a template/macro-based order entry system. An initial order data message contains a macro that establishes the initial parameters for an order and a unique ID is associated with the template. Subsequent, and potentially smaller sized data messages contain the unique ID as well as relevant order details for placing an order. Of course, the technology described herein envisions a much broader concept of reducing message sizes to help improve overall latency and is not limited to order entry.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2020Publication date: June 18, 2020Inventors: Michael CHAPMAN, Michael LAZAREV, John VACCARO

Patent number: 10680589Abstract: A driver shutdown circuit configured to trigger driver shutdown based on the magnitude and duration of the driving current. A first GaN FET is connected to a second GaN FET and an input node and generates a discharging current proportional to the driving current. The discharging current is drawn from a timer capacitor through the first and second GaN FETs. The second GaN FET receives a control signal and stops flow of the discharging current in between driver pulses so a pre-charger circuit can recharge the timer capacitor to a particular voltage. The discharging current drains the timer capacitor, and a shutdown signal generator outputs a shutdown signal to the driver in response to the voltage on the timer capacitor decreasing below a triggering voltage.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2019Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: Efficient Power Conversion CorporationInventors: Edward Lee, Ravi Ananth, Michael Chapman
