It’s okay to start using gallium-nitride (GaN) devices in your new designs. GaN transistors have become extremely popular in recent years. These wide-bandgap devices have been replacing LDMOS transistors in many power applications. For example, GaN devices are broadly being adopted for new RF power amplifiers used in cellular base stations, radar, satellites, and other high-frequency applications. In general, their ability to endure higher voltages and operate at frequencies well into the millimeter-wave (mmWave) range have them replacing traditional RF power transistors in most amplifier configurations.

This article discussed an oft forgotten or little-noticed part of the spacecraft enabling travel into outer space---power management in the space vehicle. Wide bandgap semiconductors like gallium nitride (GaN), silicon carbide (SiC), as well as diamond, are looking to be the most promising materials for future electronic components since the discovery of silicon. These technologies, depending upon their design, offer huge advantages in terms of power capability (DC and microwave), radiation insensitivity, high temperature and high frequency operation, optical properties and even low noise capability. Therefore, wide bandgap components are strategically important for the development of next generation space-borne systems. eGaN devices are quickly gaining momentum in the space industry and we will see many more applications for them by NASA and commercial contractors in future programs like Artemis and other programs in countries around the globe pursuing efforts into Space.

GaN transistors, with favorable figures of merit (FOM) for 48 V applications, can provide a reduction in size, weight, and bill of material costs. This article presents a five-phase, fully regulated, bidirectional 48 V to 12 V DC-DC converter. An advancedthermalmanagement solution suitable for use with eGaN FETs results in a system that can provide 3kW of power at an efficiency exceeding 97.5% into a 14.5 V battery.

EPC及Spirit Electronics公司携手为客户提供领导业界的氮化镓功率器件的特定制造批次的数据服务。

宜普电源转换公司（EPC）宣布与Spirit Electronics公司携手为客户提供一系列氮化镓功率器件的特定批次的数据。

宜普公司首席执行官及共同创办人Alex Lidow说,”Spirit Electronics具备与国防及宇航客户的丰富合作经验，我们携手为严峻应用环境所需，为客户增值而提供氮化镓（eGaN）功率半导体的特定批次的数据包。”

目前的氮化镓场效应晶体管在尺寸及性能方面以飞快的速度发展，而目前为业界树立基准的氮化镓器件的性能还可以提升多300倍。

最早采用氮化镓器件的应用是利用氮化镓的超快速开关速度，例如面向全自动驾驶汽车和无人机的激光雷达系统、机械人，以及4G/LTE基站。氮化镓器件的产量一直在增加，而其价格跟开关速度更慢、尺寸更大型和日益陈旧的MOSFET器件相约。因此，目前正是氮化镓器件正面攻击MOSET的时候！。
