Considerations And Guidelines For Using High-Voltage CoolGaN Switches In Power Systems

The design of an electronic switched-mode power system has always been a complex task, requiring both knowledge and experience. With the appearance of gallium nitride (GaN), this task has even become more complex, because the electrical properties of GaN expand the room for possible system solutions. Particularly the lack of a physical body diode and the lateral device operation enable completely new power topologies, e.g., hard-switched half-br…
