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公司攜手為客戶提供領導業界的氮化鎵功率元件的特定製造批次的資料服務。

宜普電源轉換公司（EPC）宣佈與Spirit Electronics公司攜手為客戶提供一系列氮化鎵功率元件的特定批次的數據。

宜普公司首席執行長及共同創辦人Alex Lidow說：「Spirit Electronics具備與國防及宇航客戶的豐富合作經驗，我們攜手為嚴峻應用環境所需，為客戶增值而提供氮化鎵（eGaN）功率半導體的特定批次的資料包。」

目前的氮化鎵場效應電晶體在尺寸及性能方面以飛快的速度發展，而目前為業界樹立基準的氮化鎵元件的性能還可以提升多300倍。

最早採用氮化鎵元件的應用是利用氮化鎵的超快速開關速度，例如面向全自動駕駛車輛和無人機的雷射雷達系統、機械人，以及4G/LTE基站。氮化鎵元件的產量一直在增加，而其價格跟開關速度更慢、尺寸更大型和日益陳舊的MOSFET元件相約。因此，目前正是氮化鎵元件正面攻擊MOSET的時候！。
