GaN theory and applications, such as lidar, DC-DC conversion, and wireless power using gallium nitride FETs and ICs, form the focus of this third edition of “GaN Transistors for Efficient Power Conversion”

EL SEGUNDO, CA – October 2019 – Efficient Power Conversion Corporation (EPC) announce the publication of the third edition of “GaN Transistors for Efficient Power Conversion,” a textbook written by power conversion industry experts and published by John Wiley and Sons. 

The Trilogy of Wireless Power Transfer consists of three parts: Basics Principles of Wireless Power Transmission, Wireless Power Transfer Systems and Applications. The first part of the book explains the basic physical principles and the different methods of contactless power transmission. Furthermore, the leading standards are presented in this part. The second part describes wireless power transfer systems, the different topologies of wireless power transmission, the right selection of transmitter and receiver coils required to increase efficiency, and the selection of transistors, for instance. The third part is dedicated to practical applications. This includes applications within the scope of the Qi standard, as well as examples of proprietary solutions. An overview of EMI-relevant topics for closely and loosely coupled systems, as well as an example of a multimode wireless power transmission system round out the practical part. The authors of the "Trilogy of Wireless Power Transfer" are Cem Som, Division Manager Wireless Power Transfer at Würth Elektronik eiSos; and Dr. Michael de Rooij, Vice President Applications Engineering at Efficient Power Conversion Corporation, Inc. The book costs 19 euros and can be ordered from Würth Elektronik eiSos or through bookstores.

Based on the authors' years of extensive experience, this is an authoritative overview of Wide Bandgap (WBG) device characterization.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. – September 2018 – Efficient Power Conversion Corporation (www.epc-co.com) announces the publication by the Institution of Engineering and Technology of Characterization of Wide Bandgap Power Semiconductor Devices co-authored by EPC Senior Applications Engineer, Dr. Edward A. Jones. This textbook provides essential tools to assist researchers, advanced students, and practicing engineers in performing both static and dynamic characterization of WBG devices, particularly those based on using silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) power semiconductors. The book presents practical considerations for real applications and includes examples of applying the described methodology.

宜普電源轉換公司（EPC）發佈第八階段可靠性測試報告。該報告表明，在累計超過800萬個元件-小時的應力測試後，沒有元件發生失效的情況。該報告詳細探討EPC元件在被確認為合格產品前所經受的各項應力測試，並且分析元件失效的物理原因。

宜普電源轉換公司宜普電源轉換公司的第八階段可靠性測試報告證明氮化鎵場效應電晶體（eGaN^®FET）及積體電路在被確認為合格產品前，經受各種非常嚴謹並符合JEDEC認證標準的應力測試。

EPC公司的第七階段可靠性報告表明eGaN^®FET非常可靠，為工程師提供可信賴及可 替代採用傳統矽基元件的解決方案。

宜普電源轉換公司宜普電源轉換公司發佈第七階段可靠性測試報告，展示出在累計超過170億元件-小時的測試後的現場數據的分佈結果，以及提供在累計超過700萬元件-小時的應力測試後的詳盡數據。各種應力測試包括間歇工作壽命[(IOL)[、早期壽命失效率[(ELFR)、高濕偏置、溫度迴圈及靜電放電等測試。報告提供受測產品的複合0.24 FIT失效率的現場數據。這個數值與我們直至目前為止所取得的現場評估的結果是一致的，證明在商業化的功率開關應用中，eGaN FET已經準備好可以替代日益老化的等效矽基元件。

Some of the best minds in our industry, like the group that was at a DesignCon 2016 book signing. Among them was Michael de Rooij, Efficient Power Conversion VP of Application Engineering who signed copies of his book Wireless Power Handbook, Second Edition. DesignCon attendees enjoyed browsing and buying books and having the authors autograph them as well. The authors also answered questions and discussed their areas of expertise with inquiring minds in attendance.

《無線電源手冊》第二版是全新增訂本，旨在幫助工程師如何發揮氮化鎵功率電晶體的卓越性能以設計出面向無線電源傳送系統的高效放大器。

宜普電源轉換公司（www.epc-co.com.tw）宣佈推出《無線電源手冊》第二版。出版本實用工程手冊的目的是為功率系統設計工程師提供寶貴設計經驗及參考資料以瞭解如何利用氮化鎵電晶體設計出高效無線電源系統。

作為宜普電源轉換公司的教科書《氮化鎵電晶體—高效功率轉換元件》的增刊及一本新增了內容的實用指南，本書提供詳細分析如何逐步設計完成基於氮化鎵電晶體的無線電源傳送系統，內容涵蓋如何比較元件，例如在放大器設計中，對氮化鎵場效應電晶體（eGaN^®FET）與MOSFET進行比較，並配以實驗證明在這種高性能的應用中，採用eGaN FET如何比採用MOSFET的放大器更為卓越。

宜普公司的《DC/DC轉換手册》與工程師分享如何在數據通訊設備及其他功率轉換應用中利用氮化鎵（GaN）功率電晶體提高效率及功率密度。

現今世界對訊息的需求史無前例地快速增長，而社會對通訊、計算及下載技術的渴求進一步驅使我們對訊息的需求量上升。新興技術諸如雲端運算及物聯網的出現，加上全球每分鐘估計有高達300小時的錄像被上載至YouTube平臺，可見要求更多、更快速的信息存取的趨勢不會慢下來。這個挑戰推動了我們編撰這本實用工程知識手册--《DC/DC轉換 -《氮化鎵電晶體—高效功率轉換元件》的增刊 》。

本書闡述功率轉換系統如何持續改善，從而跟上正在快速提升的運算能力的發展步伐，以及應對社會對高效數據中心的需求。此外，本書的焦點是如何發揮高效氮化鎵技術並逐步分析如何利用氮化鎵元件設計出高效的功率轉換解決方案。該分析對用於功率轉換系統中的傳統先進矽功率電晶體和氮化鎵電晶體進行比較。
