Using the LMG1205HBEVM GaN Half-Bridge Power Stage EVM

1.2

Typical Applications

The LMG1205 is suited for use in high frequency DC-DC converters. It is simple to use and requires few
external components. Typical applications include:

High-speed, synchronous buck converters

Class D amplifiers for audio

48-V point-of-load converters for industrial, computing, and telecom
