Description

The MASTERGAN4 is an advanced power system-in-package integrating a gate driver and two enhancement mode GaN power transistors in half bridge configuration. The integrated power GaNs have 650 V drain-source blocking voltage and R
easily supplied by the integrated bootstrap diode.
The MASTERGAN4 features UVLO protection on both the lower and upper driving sections, preventing the power switches from operating in low efficiency or dangerous conditions, and the interlocking function avoids cross-conduction conditions.
The extended range of the input pins allows easy interfacing with microcontrollers, DSP units or Hall effect sensors.
The MASTERGAN4 operates in the industrial temperature range, -40°C to 125°C.
The device is available in a compact 9x9 mm QFN package.

6 Functional description

6.1 Logic inputs

The MASTERGAN4 features a half-bridge gate driver with three logic inputs to control the internal high-side and low-side GaN transistors.
The devices are controlled through following logic inputs:
SD/OD: Shut-down input, active low;
LIN: low-side driver inputs, active high;
HIN: high-side driver inputs, active high.

6.2
The logic inputs have internal pull-down resistors. The purpose of these resistors is to set a proper logic level in case, for example, there is an interruption in the logic lines or the controller outputs are in tri-state conditions.
If logic inputs are left floating, the gate driver outputs are set to low level and the corresponding GaN transistors are turned off.
The minimum duration of the on time of the pulses applied to LIN is T either extended to T
or blanked, if shorter than 30ns (typ). Minimum duration of the off time of the pulses
IN_MIN
= 120ns; shorter pulses could be
IN_MIN
applied to LIN is 60ns or could be blanked if they are shorter.
The minimum duration of the off time of the pulses applied to HIN is T either extended to T
or blanked, if shorter than 30ns (typ). Minimum duration of the on time of the pulses
IN_MIN
= 120ns; shorter pulses shall be
IN_MIN
applied to HIN is 60ns or could be blanked if they are shorter.
Interlocking feature interrupts running T
to avoid unexpected cross-conduction.

Matched, short propagation delay between low side and high side are there.

Bootstrap structure

Bootstrap circuitry is typically used to supply the high-voltage section. MASTERGAN4 integrates this structure by means of a patented integrated high-voltage DMOS to reduce the external components.
The Boostrap integrated circuit is connected to VCC pin and is driven synchronously with the low-side driver.
The use of an external bootstrap diode in parallel to the integrated structure is possible, especially when the operating frequency is generally higher than 500kHz.

PVCC
The VCC pin supplies current to the logic circuit, level-shifters in the low-side section and the integrated bootstrap diode.
The PVCC pin supplies low-side output buffer. During outputs commutations the average current used to provide gate charge to the high-side and low-side GaN transistors flow through this pin.
The PVCC pin can be connected either to the same supply voltage of the VCC pin or to a separated voltage source. In case the same voltage source is used, it is suggested to connect VCC and PVCC pins by means of a small decoupling resistance. The use of dedicated bypass ceramic capacitors located as close as possible to each supply pin is highly recommended.
The MASTERGAN4 VCC supply voltage is continuously monitored by under-voltage lockout (UVLO) circuitry that turns the high-side and low-side GaN transistors off when the supply voltage goes below the V
The UVLO circuitry turns on the GaN, accordingly to LIN and HIN status, approximately 20µs (typ) after the supply voltage goes above the V

Dedicated under-voltage protection is available on the bootstrap section between BOOT and OUTb supply pins. In order to avoid intermittent operation, a hysteresis set the turn-off threshold with respect to the turn-on threshold.
When the VBO voltage falls below the V Approximately 5µs (typ) after the VBO voltage reaches the V operation and the output remains off until the next input pin transition that requests the high-side to turn on.

9 Suggested footprint

TOP VIEW
Dimensions in mm
The MASTERGAN4 footprint for the PCB layout is usually defined based on several design factors as assembly plant technology capabilities and board component density. For easy device usage and evaluation, ST provides the following footprint design, which is suitable for the largest variety of PCBs.
The following footprint indicates the copper area which should be free from the solder mask,
while the copper area shall extend beyond the indicated areas especially for EP2 and EP3. To aid thermal dissipation, it is recommended to add thermal vias under these EPADs to transfer and dissipate device heat to the other PCB copper layers. A PCB layout example is available with the MASTERGAN4 evaluation board.
