In this video the CE+T team describes the challenges they confronted and how they used GaN Systems transistors to develop the inverter that won Google and IEEE Little Box Challenge.
Commercial inverters, power modules, battery chargers and energy storage systems using GaN are mainstream in transportation, consumer, and industrial applications. OTTAWA, Ontario – November 2, 2016 – Power system companies continue adopting gallium nitride (GaN) transistors in place of silicon IGBTs and MOSFETs. By designing GaN into power systems and modules, customers have launched a…
[UPDATE: This product has been selected an EDN Top 100 Product of 2016! The article originally appeared in EDN Tools & Learning as a Product Review.] The world already consumes too much energy. Globally, as the middle class grows, even more energy will be required. Government regulations and increasingly stringent emissions standards compound the need…
GaN transistors exhibit exceptional paralleling capabilities. App Note GN004 is a practical guide to paralleling and layout considerations when designing in high speed GaN HEMT devices. The Note also provides a design example of a 4x paralleled GaN E-HEMT half bridge power stage.
