GaN Advantage over MOSFET in Inverters for Drones - An Experimental Comparison
Speaker: Marco Palma
Battery-powered unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) are revolutionizing today’s agriculture, where they are used to spray fertilizers and more. These drones use motor drives that need to be lightweight and efficient to maximize working battery life and extend flight time between recharging. Wide-bandgap devices, and specifically Gallium Nitride (GaN) FETs, have been demonstrated to improve BLDC motor drives in e-mobility and robotic applications. This paper presents the experimental tests to compare a GaN FET inverter with equivalent MOSFET inverters driving a permanent magnet motor for UAV agricultural drones.

Speaker: Alex Lidow
GaN Reliability and Lifetime Projections
Speaker: Alex Lidow
The rapid adoption of GaN devices in many diverse applications calls for continued accumulation of reliability statistics and research into the fundamental physics of failure in GaN devices. This talk presents the strategy used to measure and predict GaN device lifetime based upon tests that force devices to fail under a variety of conditions. This information can be used to create stronger and higher performance products for the industry.

What a Long Strange Trip It’s Been
Speaker: Alex Lidow
GaN devices have passed the tipping point in several applications as this wonderful wide bandgap semiconductor marches toward the obsolescence of the aging silicon MOSFET. In this keynote there will be a brief trip down memory lane to recount some of the key lessons learned beginning with the power MOSFET’s takeover of the power conversion space from the incumbent bipolar transistor. Similarities and differences will be highlighted as one application after another converts from silicon to GaN transistors. The roadmap for the next few years to be discussed at the end is a reflection of these experiences.
