12.3.1 Output Stage

The DRV7308 device consists of integrated 205mΩ (one GaN FET on-state resistance) enhancement mode GaN (EGaN) FETs connected in a three-phase bridge configuration. The device integrates a pre-driver for low-side and high-side GaN FETs using an integrated bootstrap controller and rectifier using a low voltage external power supply at GVDD. An appropriately used external bootstrap capacitor offers 100% duty cycle support for a defined time.
