3rd Edition
by Alex Lidow (Author), de Rooij, Michael (Author), Johan Strydom (Author), David Reusch (Author), John Glaser (Author)
An up-to-date, practical guide
on upgrading from silicon to GaN, and how to use GaN transistors in
power conversion systems design
This updated, third edition
of a popular book on GaN transistors for efficient power conversion has
been substantially expanded to keep students and practicing power
conversion engineers ahead of the learning curve in GaN technology
advancements. Acknowledging that GaN transistors are not one-to-one
replacements for the current MOSFET technology, this book serves as a
practical guide for understanding basic GaN transistor construction,
characteristics, and applications. Included are discussions on the
fundamental physics of these power semiconductors, layout, and other
circuit design considerations, as well as specific application examples
demonstrating design techniques when employing GaN devices.
GaN Transistors for Efficient Power Conversion, 3rd Edition
brings key updates to the chapters of Driving GaN Transistors;
Modeling, Simulation, and Measurement of GaN Transistors; DC-DC Power
Conversion; Envelope Tracking; and Highly Resonant Wireless Energy
Transfer. It also offers new chapters on Thermal Management, Multilevel
Converters, and Lidar, and revises many others throughout.
