The Growing Ecosystem for eGaN®FET Power Conversion
eGaN FET-based power conversion systems offer higher efficiency, increased power density, and lower overall system cost than Si-based alternatives. These advantageous characteristics have spurred the presence of an ever increasing ecosystem of power electronics components such as gate drivers, controllers, and passive components that specifically enhance eGaN FET performance.
The eGaN FET ecosystem can be broken down into three main categories: 1) gate driver, 2) controllers, and 3) passive components. A typical synchronous buck converter, as shown in figure 2, highlights these various components. The requirements for these components are driven by the characteristics of eGaN FETs, such as small footprint, fast switching, tight gate voltage requirement, and high frequency capability.
Conclusion:As eGaN FETs continue to penetrate application designs, the surrounding ecosystem of supporting components needed to achieve the superior performance of eGaN FETs will also grow. Today this ecosystem is no longer a limiting factor in GaN-based designs, and designer have a rapidly growing number of gate drivers, controllers, and passive component options to choose from.
