The LMG1020 device is a single， low-side driverdesigned for driving GaN FETs and logic-levelMOSFETs in high-speed applications includingLiDAR， time-of-flight， facial recognition， and anypower converters involving low side drivers. Thedesign simplicity of the LMG1020 enables extremelyfast propagation delays of 2.5 nanoseconds andminimum pulse width of 1 nanosecond. The drivestrength is independently adjustable for the pull-upand pull-down edges by connecting external resistorsbetween the gate and OUTH and OUTL， respectively.

The driver features undervoltage lockout （UVLO） andovertemperature protection （OTP） in the event ofoverload or fault conditions.

通用高壓評(píng)估板LMG1020-HB-EVM

The LMG1020-HB-EVM is designed to evaluate the LMG1020 Nano-second low-side driver for GaN FETs.

This EVM consists of one Gallium Nitride （GaN） eFET driven by one LMG1020 and with the sourceconnected to a resistive load emulating a laser diode for LiDAR （Light Detection And Ranging）applications.

The guide shows a circuit and the list of materials describing how to power the board up and how to setthe board up for a certain regulation voltage. The EVM board is designed to accelerate the evaluation ofthe LMG1020.

This board is not intended to be used as a standalone product but it intended to evaluate the switchingperformance of LMG1020.

This EVM guide describes correct operation and measurement of the EVM， as well as the EVMconstruction and typical performance.

The LMG1020-EVM is a small， easy-to-use power stage with integrated resistive load. It takes a shortpulseinput that can either be buffered （and shorten further）， or passed directly to the power stage.

The input pulse is signal is used to pulse the current through the load， to achieve 1-2ns wide currentpulses， which are the state-of-the-art target for LiDAR systems.

The EVM features a LMG1020 low side nano-second driver， driving a single EPC2039 FET referenced toground and with the drain connected to the resistive load.

The load is split between two current loops to reduce the effective inductance. The board has larger padson which a laser diode of choice can be mounted.
