Key Points
• Gate drivers provide the necessary voltage
and current to efficiently control GaN
transistors' ON and OFF states.
• Magnetic components in GaN circuits require
advanced materials and designs to handle
high frequencies to reduce core and copper
losses for enhanced efficiency and reliability.
• Analog Devices provides GaN gate drivers
and controllers integrating smart bootstrap
switches, near-zero dead-time circuitry, and
precise gate voltage control.
• Bourns offers magnetics solutions for
GaN, using advanced materials like high-
permeability ferrites and nanocrystalline
alloys to reduce core losses at high frequencies.
