Thoughtful Board Design Unlocks the Promise of GaN (.PDF Download)

Feb. 18, 2016

Power transistors with faster switching speeds will enable power supplies with smaller form factors and higher energy transfer efficiencies. Indeed, the elimination of heat sinks will give designers the ability to visualize entirely new form factors for power bricks and modules, including those enabling wireless power transfers. Companies like Texas Instruments and Efficient Power Conversion (EPC) are focusing on applications requiring compact form factors and high energy-transfer efficiencies...
