Description

This reference design is a GaN-based 3kW phase-shifted full bridge (PSFB) targeting maximum power density.

The design has an active clamp to minimize voltage stress on the secondary synchronous rectifier MOSFETs enabling use of lower voltage-rating MOSFETs with better figure-of-merit (FoM). PMP23126 uses our 30mΩ GaN on the primary side and silicon MOSFETs on the secondary side. The LMG3522 top-side cooled GaN with integrated driver and protection enables higher efficiency by maintaining ZVS over a wider range of operation compared to Si MOSFET. The PSFB operates at 100 kHz and achieves a peak efficiency of 97.74%.

This design can be run on a C2000™ TMS320F280039C or TMS320F280049C or TMS320F2800157 real-time MCU.
