Companies not using GaN today, may be in risk of being left behind. Fortunately, there is a robust support infrastructure for design engineers. It’s easier than ever to implement GaN with a well-developed ecosystem and the many design tools and reference designs available.
GaN Systems recently unveiled several new evaluation boards – the latest with MinDCet, an innovative power semiconductor design house, for a 100V Half-Bridge evaluation kit.
This solution shows the ease-of-use, high performance, and flexibility of GaN transistor and driver combinations. The evaluation kit includes the MinDCet MDC901 GaN driver and two GaN Systems GS61008P E-mode GaN power transistors connected in a high-side, low-side configuration and all the necessary drive circuitry.
The 100V Half-Bridge evaluation kit is used to evaluate GaN in various converter applications including, highly efficient server PoL converters, high-voltage pulsers for MEMS (e.g., ultrasound transducers, MEMS switches), high precision motor control, DC/DC converters, AC/DC converters, and Class-D audio amplifiers.
This is just one of the growing number of resources from GaN Systems and partners including the new 100V High-Speed Half-Bridge Evaluation Board, IMS3 platform, and integrated power module evaluation kits.
