Universal motherboard and four daughterboards help power design engineers to easily evaluate the GaN E-HEMT performance in any system design OTTAWA, Ontario, November 4, 2016 – GaN Systems launches a daughterboard style evaluation kit to help power design engineers easily evaluate the GaN E-HEMT performance in any system design, along with a universal motherboard (GS665MB-EVB).…
The auto industry is poised to begin a shift from silicon chips to smaller and more efficient “wide-bandgap” semiconductors made with gallium nitride, says Karina Morley, Ricardo’s commercial director, Automotive. These advanced chips will be 20%-50% smaller than the silicon semiconductors they replace. That will enable far more compact electronic control modules. Gallium nitride chips…
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…
[This article was originally published by Pi Innovo] An introduction to GaN (gallium nitride) for power conversion and control applications The benefits of gallium nitride semiconductors stem from its unique material and electronic properties. GaN devices offer five key characteristics compared to silicon-based devices: – High dielectric strength – High current density – High switching…
