A UHF Class E DC/DC Converter using GaN HEMTs
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, the design of a class E2 resonant DC/DC converter, operating at UHF band, is proposed. Combining the use of GaN HEMT devices, both for the inverter and the synchronous rectifier, with high Q lumped-element multiharmonic matching networks, a peak efficiency value of 72% has been obtained at 780 MHz with a 10.3 W output power. By means of a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) over the gate driving envelope, the output voltage may be controlled while keeping low switching losses, with an estimated small-signal bandwidth (BW) and a slew rate of 11 MHz and 630 V/μSeg, respectively. Index Terms — Class E, DC/DC converter, GaN HEMTs, UHF.

AlN passivation layers grown by atomic layer epitaxy have been implemented to passivate the surface of AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs). These layers suppress surface charge trapping effects, such as current collapse, reduction of maximum drain current, and increase of dynamic on resistance. Each passivation scheme is characterized using pulsed I-V measurements, a novel on-w...
