Advancements in USB Power Delivery: GaN Technology for Efficiency and High-Power Density

The first Universal Serial Bus (USB) specification, released in 1996, aimed to standardize power delivery and connectivity in computing and telecommunication industries [1]. Initially supporting a 5 V power bus with up to 5 A of current (25 W) and maximum data transfer rates of 12 Mbit/s, USB has evolved significantly due to the proliferation of electronic devices, leading to a demand for higher power capabilities.
