6.4.3 GaN HEMT Switching Capability

The UCG28826's primary-side integrated GaN HEMT's switching capability is explained with the help of Figure 6-8. The figure shows the drain-source voltage (same as SW pin voltage) for the UCG28826 for two distinct switching cycles in a flyback application. The first is a normal switching cycle followed by a surge switching cycle in DCM/valley switching condition.

UCG28826 GaN HEMT Switching Capability Figure 6-8 GaN HEMT Switching Capability

Each cycle starts before t0 with the GaN HEMT in on state. At t0, the GaN HEMT turns off and the parasitic elements cause the drain-source voltage to ring at a high frequency. The high frequency ringing has damped out by t1. Between t1 and t2, the HEMT drain-source is at a flat plateau voltage with reducing secondary winding current in a flyback design. At t2, the GaN HEMT turns on at a valley. For normal operation, the transient ring voltage is limited to 700V and the plateau is limited to 560V. For rare surge events, the transient ring voltage is limited to 800V and the plateau is limited to 750V.
