Eliminate false firing
In the high-speed switching operation of GaN, even if the gate capacitance is small, the Gate voltage rises due to the Miller effect, and the low Vth causes False Firing.
Cs provides negative Gate voltage when Vgs OFF. Its prevent False Firing.
Even if Vgs rises due to Miller effect, GaN can be protected from destruction due to False Firing by giving sufficient negative voltage not exceeding the Vth.
