Rohm is claiming a first for an 8V-tolerant gate on a 150V GaN power transistor. One of the weaknesses of GaN HEMTs is the low voltage rating of their gates – generally ~6V – leaving them vulnerable to damage from transients, particularly as they need a drive of around 5V to operate. “Rohm succeeded in ...
