Monolithic GaN Half-Bridge Integration for Ultra-Compact High-Bandwidth Motor Drives

Monolithic GaN Half-Bridge Integration for Ultra-Compact High-Bandwidth Motor Drives

By Maurizio Di Paolo Emilio, Marcom Director, EPC – Efficient Power Conversion

The design requirements for motor drive electronics are being significantly altered by the continuous shift from conventional automation to mobile robotics. Volume, mass, efficiency, acoustic emission, and dynamic response are all simultaneously constrained by actuators integrated into wearable technology, humanoid robots, and aerial platforms. In these applications, the inverter becomes a tightly coupled component of the electromechanical structure rather than a peripheral power stage.
