eGaN FETs have repeatedly demonstrated higher efficiency than MOSFETs in wireless power transfer amplifiers when operated over a wide impedance range using a ZVS Class D amplifier [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8]. In this article we examine a method to further improve the performance of eGaN FETs by replacing the bootstrap diode of the high side gate driver with an eGaN FET that is driven synchrono...

Power converters are constantly trending towards higher output power, higher efficiency, and higher power density. To provide improved performance better power devices are required. For silicon (Si) power devices, the gains in performance have slowed as the technology has matured and approaches its theoretical limits [1]. Gallium nitride (GaN) devices have emerged as a possible replacement for ...

EPC’s enhancement mode gallium nitride (eGaN®) power transistors are a new generation of power switches offering unsurpassed performance over silicon power MOSFETs in switching speed and conduction losses with superior thermal characteristics. An accurate circuit and device model is a valuable tool for developing new topologies, building successful designs, and shortening time to market. This a...

The EGAN software is a functional implementation of a simple yet powerful paradigm for exploration of large empirical data sets downstream from computational analysis. By focusing on systems-level analysis via enrichment statistics, EGAN enables a human domain expert to transform high-throughput analysis results into hypergraph visualizations: concept maps that leverage the expert’s semantic un...
