48V application switching – a new El Dorado for GaN
Abstract:
This presentation will discuss the vast opportunities and benefits that GaN power devices can offer in the 48V space, including for example data server applications, hybrid cars with 42V batteries, USB PD charging with extended power range or E-bike applications (motor driver, battery charger or traction invertor). We will illustrate how Innoscience solutions from discrete GaN switches to our integrated SolidGaNTM devices to our Bi-Directional VGANTM switches drive performance and what benefits are offered to the end-users.
