1200 V GaN monolithic power integration - News
WEB2 days ago — To evaluate the performance of our 1200 V monolithic half-bridge circuit, we have constructed a boost converter (see Figure 4 (a) and 4 (b)). The output results, shown in Figure 4 (c), reveal that our converter can operate under 800 V/1 MHz conditions at 175 °C. These results indicate that our proposed GaN-on-ultra-thin buffer technology is a ...
