OTTAWA, Ontario, Canada, July 28, 2020 – GaN Systems, the global leader in GaN (gallium nitride) power semiconductors, today published the company’s latest technical manual titled, “12V High-Efficiency Audio Reference Designs using GaN Power Transistors.” The technical manual was developed in response to the well-received launch of GaN Systems Class-D audio amplifier evaluation kit in…
Below is an excerpt from “GaN Systems: All Eyes On Audio Amplifiers,” originally posted here at Compound Semiconductor. When it comes to the wonderful world of audio, not all solid-state amplifiers are created equal. For decades, the analog-based linear amplification Class A audio system has reigned supreme, with audiophiles tolerating its very low efficiency. Not anymore.…
OTTAWA, Ontario, Canada, June 30, 2020 – GaN Systems, the global leader in GaN (gallium nitride) power semiconductors, announced today its participation at “PCIM Europe Digital Days,” taking place July 7–8, 2020. CEO Jim Witham will participate in two panel sessions, “GaN Devices – The Game-Changers” and “Power GaN: Past-Present-Future,” illustrating how GaN power semiconductors…
This article was originally published here on June 10, 2020. With silicon nearing its physical limits, electronics manufacturers are turning to non-traditional semiconducting materials, notably wide-bandgap (WBG) semiconductors. Some are adopting these technologies to hit cost and performance targets that otherwise can’t be reached, and while others seek to differentiate their products from their competitors’.…
By GaN Systems CEO Jim Witham Too often, the fact that a technology merely exists drives the direction of a specific implementation, rather than focusing on developing technologies in response to real and important human needs. This has often been the case of the ‘smart home’ in its various stages of automation and intelligence. What…
