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 1):
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 second input signal, \n wherein the high side switch driver is, configured to prevent a change of conductivity state of the high side switch in response to voltage transients of the voltage of the second source, \n wherein the low side circuit further comprises a level shift circuit configured to receive the second input signal and to generate a level shift signal configured to control an output state of the high side switch driver.
