OTTAWA, Canada AND PARIS, France, July 21, 2020 – GaN Systems, the global leader in GaN (gallium nitride) power semiconductors, and BrightLoop Converters, a leading French power electronics company, today announced their strategic partnership to develop the latest AC/DC and DC/DC Converter products for electric motorsport and aerospace applications. Leveraging GaN Systems’ 650V GaN transistors,…
氮化鎵功率半導體全球領導廠商 GaN Systems 今日宣布與法國功率電子公司 BrightLoop Converters 建立策略合作夥伴關係，共同開發最新 AC-DC 和 DC-DC 轉換器，用於電動賽車和航太應用。採用 GaN Systems 的 650V GaN 電晶體，BrightLoop 所設計的轉換器比市場上現有的產品更輕薄短巧、且更高效。 GaN 在需要高功率性能和可靠性的產業中扮演關鍵角色。BrightLoop 最新系列的 DC-DC 轉換器，包括為混合動力和電動賽車設計的 1.9kW、4.8kW 和9.6kW DC-DC 轉換器，採用了GaN Systems 電晶體，體積和重量僅為其第一代不使用 GaN 所開發的 DC-DC轉換器的一半。BrightLoop 不斷利用 GaN 功率半導體技術進行改進，以生產更輕巧、更高功率密度的轉換器。 BrightLoop DC-DC 轉換器現已被多支 Formula E 電動方程式車隊採用，其中包括 2019 年的冠軍隊伍。該轉換器的功能是為所有低壓電子設備（包括幫浦、照明和無線電）提供電力。最近，全球領先的賽車促進組織 World Sporting Consulting（WSC）集團宣布 BrightLoop 成為 ETCR 車輛的唯一指定 DC-DC 轉換器供應商。ETCR 是世界上第一個電動旅行車錦標賽，始於 2020 年夏季。…

這篇文章由 GaN Systems 應用工程經理 Juncheng (Lucas) Lu 及 Peter Di Maso所撰寫，於 2020 年 5 月發表於 EDN.com，完整文章請至此連結。 近年來，電動車的數量急遽上升，且增長的速度沒有減緩的趨勢。產業分析師預期電動車銷售量將於2040年前達 5600萬輛。根據彭博新能源財經（Bloomberg NEF）的《電動車展望》報告，伴隨這波電動車數量成長，相對電力需求將升至 1800 TWh，佔全球電力需求的 5%。這一預測是建立在電動車效率提升、充電基礎設施更普及和更快速的充電解決方案得以實現的前提下。因此，在電動車行業和生態系統中，較小、較輕的電力電子元件將是帶動此變革的關鍵。 牽引逆變器是在電動車中，最需要提高效率的應用。在電動車動力總成 (drivertrain) 中，牽引逆變器將高壓電池的直流電轉換為交流電來對馬達供電，驅動電動車推進系統。透過提高牽引逆變器的效率，將實現以下優勢： 在相同電池成本下，實現更長的續航里程、更少的充電週期並延長電池壽命，或者 使用更小、更低成本的電池實現相同的行駛里程，兩者皆有助於提高以電動車替代燃油車的可行性。 閱讀完整文章，請至 EDN.com。
