Hybrid CMOS/GaN 40-MHz Maximum 20-V Input DC-DC Multiphase Buck Converter.

This paper presents a 40-MHz hybrid CMOS/GaN integrated multiphase dc-dc switched-inductor buck converter with a maximum 20-V input voltage. The half-bridge switches are realized using lateral AlGaN/GaN HEMTs, while the drivers and other circuitry are implemented in standard 180-nm CMOS. The interface between the CMOS and GaN dice is achieved through face-to-face bonding, reducing inductive parasi...
