Design Tips to Maximize the Performance of GaN-Based Designs

It is widely known across the power electronics industry that Gallium Nitride (GaN) FETs have demonstrated superior in-circuit performance compared to conventional silicon FETs. In this webinar we will show how using GaN FETs can be as simple as using silicon FETs by employing some easy and inexpensive design techniques. Join the webinar to discover the basic techniques for using GaN transistors in high-performance power conversion circuits to achieve maximum performance.

In this webinar, we'll discuss:

  • Optimal layout techniques to take full advantage of the speed of GaN
  • Simple, inexpensive heat-sinking techniques to extract even more power out of GaN designs and examination of an online based thermal calculator
  • Understanding the Impact of Dead-time, QRR, and COSS in various applications
  • Demonstration of an online cross-reference tool that uses your design parameters to suggest the optimum GaN FET for your design.
