6.4.7 Slew Rate Control

The UCG28826 includes slew rate options for drain voltage reduction from switch node valley voltage to ground at the time of primary GaN HEMT turn-on. This GaN HEMT turn-on during valley switching happens at nearly zero current and incurs negligible additional losses with the slower turn-on due to slew rate control helping to meet various electromagnetic emission standards. Three slew rate options are available at 3V/ns, 5V/ns and 7V/ns, which vary marginally based on the valley voltage, as shown in Figure 6-11.

UCG28826 GaN HEMT Turn-on Slew Rate Control Figure 6-11 GaN HEMT Turn-on Slew Rate Control

Select the required slew rate value using a resistor from CDX pin to GND as per values in Table 6-4. At the primary GaN HEMT turn-off instant, the increase in SW node voltage depends on IPK and total switch node capacitance CSW. A gate drive current controlled reduction in this turn-off slew rate can increase losses significantly. If such reduction in GaN HEMT turn-off slew rate is needed, add an additional capacitor from GaN HEMT drain (switch node) to GND to reduce the rate of increase in switch node voltage at this turn-off instant.
