Key Points
• GaN's wide bandgap enables higher voltage,
temperature, and frequency operations.
• GaN's high electron mobility allows faster
switching, improved power conversion
efficiency, and smaller supporting magnetics
for higher-power-density solutions.
• Analog Devices is a key supplier for robust
gate driver and controller solutions for GaN
technology. Extensive LTspice simulation
models and evaluation kits are supported.
• Bourns provides advanced magnetic
components optimized for GaN's higher
frequencies and bespoke design services for
high-efficiency power systems.
