Monolithic GaN Power IC Technology Drives Wide Bandgap Adoption
Dan Kinzer
Abstract
Gallium Nitride power integrated circuits are ramping into high volume and showing unprecedented efficiency, density, and system cost advantages. The technology delivers a complement of scalable devices with models, and a full suite of verification tools. Innovative circuit designs enable complex functions without the benefit of CMOS, bipolars, or diodes.
