GaN switches are widely used in high switching and high power density power converter designs due to their low on-resistance and low input capacitance. Monolithic GaN solutions can provide high drive capability and high switching frequency due to low parasitic effects [1–3]. However, due to the highly integrated solution, some abnormal operations may affect the overall performance. High dV/dt caused by high input voltage (100 to 650V) will induce abnormal operation when the GaN turns on and off. Especially, the gate control voltage of the low-side GaN switch in the half-bridge structure will have the ringing problem, which is caused by the coupling effects from the drain-to-gate capacitance (CDG) in case of large dV/dt. State-of-the-art gate driver uses segment drive currents to speed up and stabilize the gate drive voltage. Although, the gate drive current $1_{\mathrm{G}}$ in Fig. 1 is reduced to $1_{\mathrm{G}(\min)}$ to suppress the inrush current during the Miller Plateau period, the low drive capability will suffer from a large ringing problem [1], [4–6]. When VD is lower than VG, $1_{\mathrm{G}}$ needs to provide $1_{\mathrm{G}\mathrm{D}}$ and $1_{\mathrm{G}\mathrm{S}}$. The VG will experience a voltage dip. More drive current is needed from the internal voltage regulator. Owing to the sudden demand for drive current, the voltage regulator may suffer from another voltage dip and deteriorate the ringing effect at VG. More seriously, the VG may drop below the VTH to cause the abnormal turn-off effect of the low side $\mathrm{G}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{N}$ switch. The drian-tosource voltage VDS will suffer from a large tailing time $\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{t}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{i}12}$ which is larger than $\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{t}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{i}11}$ in the case with only the coupling effect. The tailing time is defined as the time that the no tailing point to the time that VDS falls to zero. Furthermore, the power loss of the tailing current can be expressed as $\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{t}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{i}1^{\star}}\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{P}\mathrm{L}}$/($\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{f}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{i}1^{\star}}\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{D}\mathrm{S}}+\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{t}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{i}1^{\star}}\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{P}\mathrm{L}}$) where VPL is the Miller Plateau voltage. Minimizing $\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{t}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{i}1}$ can improve efficiency. In [7], an additional pull-up current can be provided by $\mathrm{O}_{\mathrm{E}5}$ if the VG drops below 2$\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{D}\mathrm{D}\mathrm{R}}-2\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{T}\mathrm{H}}$. Unfortunately, the 1R drop effect at the supply voltage VDD will cause a large voltage dip at VDDR. The main drive GaN$\mathrm{O}_{\mathrm{E}7}$ and additional drive GaN$\mathrm{O}_{\mathrm{E}5}$ will lose their drive capability at the same time. Therefore, in this paper, the proposed SelfPumped Drive Enhance (SPDE) technique can suppress the ringing to minimize the tailing time $\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{t}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{i}1}$ to its ideal value.
