  • Publication number: 20200304112
    Abstract: Circuits and methods are provided for utilizing decoupling capacitors to mitigate voltage droop on power supply lines of a power distribution network. A power supply line is capacitively decoupled using a first decoupling capacitor connected to the power supply line and charged to a first voltage level of the power supply line. A second decoupling capacitor is pre-charged to a second voltage level greater than the first voltage level and held in standby. A control circuit determines or predicts an occurrence of a droop event in which the first voltage decreases to a level which is at or below a droop threshold voltage level, and selectively connects the pre-charged second decoupling capacitor to the power supply line to source additional boosting current through discharging of the second decoupling capacitor and thereby capacitively decouple the power supply line using the higher second voltage and additional boosting current.

  • Publication number: 20200295045
    Abstract: One silicon MOSFET transistor, which is used as the VThreshold control, and a GaN power HEMT are integrated on a single die to enable a fully integrated depletion-mode power device. GaN area is created on a silicon substrate and GaN FETs are built in the GaN area. Outside of the GaN area, silicon transistors such as switch MOSFETs are built. Front end of line or back end of line metal connections are then made to create interconnections among the GaN FET and the silicon transistor. The short physical proximity of the silicon transistor and GaN HEMT significantly reduces the parasitic resistance and inductance between them. Thus, high speed signals are able to travel from the silicon transistor to the GaN HEMT with a higher frequency and lower distortion, without creating overshoot voltage when there is large parasitic inductance. Therefore, the cascode device can operate at a higher switching frequency.
