[Pictured above: Fraunhofer ISE’s resonant DC/DC converters, with a switching frequency of 2.5MHz, as a demonstrator for aeronautical applications. ©Fraunhofer ISE] The efficiency of power electronic systems is not solely dependent on electrical efficiency but also on weight (e.g. in mobile systems). When the weight of relevant…
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.
