At the Applied Power Electronics Conference - APEC 2017 - and the Power Conversion and Intelligent Motion conference - PCIM Europe 2017 - visitors saw the strides made by researchers and manufacturers alike. Beyond all the technical papers, podium discussions and roundtables, on the exhibition floors attendees were treated to scores of examples of customer systems that achieve previously unattainable efficiencies and power density levels.

By replacing legacy components with GaN transistors, customers are reducing electronic system size, weight and cost while simultaneously increasing system efficiency and gaining a competitive advantage.

Visitors to GaN Systems’ booth saw GaN transistors improve the performance of applications as diverse as wireless power transfer, DC/DC converters, energy storage systems, EV traction inverters, power modules, PWM motor controllers, and LED drivers. Today, the devices improved by GaN transistors are in service across the consumer, data centre, industrial, and transportation markets.

So, can electronic system performance be enhanced by using GaN transistors? GaN Systems has developed several tools to help answer this question. The first is a comprehensive evaluation platform consisting of a universal motherboard and four daughterboards to help easily determine GaN E-HEMT performance in any design. The second is the recently launched E-HEMT bridgeless-totem-pole PFC reference design that helps achieve system efficiencies in excess of 98%.

Webinar event for power supply design engineers
Power supply design engineers seeking to realise the benefits of GaN transistors in their systems should register for Richardson RFPD's webinar GaN Enabled Power Supply Technologies scheduled for 21st June 2017, at 11am EDT. At this webinar, you will learn design techniques, see results, understand layout and thermal performance tradeoffs and finally, understand several key topologies where GaN excels.
