SNOU140A – April 2016 – Revised May 2017
Using the LMG3410-HB-EVM Half-Bridge and LMG34XX-
BB-EVM Breakout Board EVM
The LMG3410-HB-EVM features two LMG3410 600V/12A GaN power transistors with integrated drivers
that are configured in a half bridge with all the required bias circuit and logic/power level shifting. Essential
power stage and gate driving high frequency current loops are fully enclosed on the board to minimize
parasitic inductances, reducing voltage overshoots and improving performance. The LMG3410-HB-EVM is
configured to have a socket style external connection for easy interface with external power stages to run
the LMG3410 in various applications.
