Editor’s note: We bring you Chapter 5: Buck Converters of”GaN Transistors for Efficient Power Conversion,” published by Power Conversion Publications. The authors delve into various buck converter ...

Characteristics of enhancement-mode (e-mode) GaN, such as positive temperature coefficient of RDS(ON) and a temperature-independent threshold voltage, make them excellent candidates for paralleling.

As the world’s demand for data increases seemingly out of control, a real problem occurs in the data communications systems that have to handle this traffic. Datacenters and base stations, filled with ...

The DC-DC Converter Handbook authored by David Reusch and John Glaser is intended for power-system designers who employ GaN (gallium nitride) power transistors. It supplements GaN Transistors for ...

The Forward and Flyback converters are two popular topologies widely used in isolated DC-DC power converters. These topologies are favored by designers for their simplicity, ability to handle multiple ...

Power electronics are booming, fueled by demand ranging from induction chargers for wearable and portable electronics, to charging stations for electric vehicles. An estimated 80% of all U.S.

We have been looking at the history of some HVDC devices such as the mercury-arc valve and the thyristor valve for the past few months. The mercury-arc valve made HVDC transmission possible (1950s), ...
