Abstract:
GaN-based half bridge power conversion circuits employ control, support and logic functions that are monolithically integrated on the same devices as the power transistors. In some embodiments, a low side GaN device communicates through one or more level shift circuits with a high side GaN device. Both the high side and the low side devices may have one or more integrated control, support and logic functions.

Claim (Index 9):
A half bridge GaN circuit, comprising:\n a low side circuit, comprising:\n a low side switch comprising a low side switch control gate, a first source, and a first drain, and \n a low side switch driver, configured to control a conductivity state of the low side switch according to a first input signal; \n a high side circuit, comprising:\n a high side switch comprising a high side switch control gate, a second source, and a second drain, wherein the second source is connected to the first drain, and \n a high side switch driver referenced to a voltage at the second source, wherein the high side switch driver is configured to control a conductivity state of the high side switch according to a plurality of pulses, and wherein durations of on and off times of the high side switch are based on durations of the pulses, \n wherein the low side circuit further comprises a level shift circuit configured to generate the pulses in response to a second input signal.
