IEEE Power Electronics Society (PELS) Webinar, “Using Gallium Nitride (GaN) FETs for Envelope Tracking Buck Converters”

On September 3rd IEEE PELS will offer a webinar by Dr. Johan Strydom discussing the contribution of gallium nitride power transistors to meet the demanding system bandwidth requirements of envelope tracking applications.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif.— August 2014 — An Efficient Power Conversion Corporation (EPC) expert on the application of gallium nitride transistors in envelope tracking power circuit design will conduct a one-hour webinar sponsored by the IEEE Power Electronics Society (PELS) on September 3rd from 11:00 AM to 12:00 AM (EDT).

Discrete GaN power devices offer superior hard-switching performance over MOSFETs and are crucial for the development of switching converters for envelope tracking. In this seminar, the latest family of high frequency enhancement-mode gallium nitride power transistors on silicon (eGaN® FETs) will be presented in a few multi-megahertz buck converters. The different system-level parasitics will be discussed and their impact evaluated based upon the experimental results.

The presenter will be Johan Strydom, EPC Vice President of Applications Engineering. Dr. Strydom is widely published in the industry, including being co-author of GaN Transistors for Efficient Power Conversion, the first textbook on the design and applications of gallium nitride transistors.
