Thanks to their intrinsic characteristics, wide bandgap materials offer reduced power losses and can operate at very high frequencies. The most recent GaN technology can reach high frequencies with low losses. It can significantly reduce the size of the on-board magnetics and eliminate or reduce the heatsink. As a result, the end application is smaller and more efficient.
Join STMicroelectronics & Würth Elektronik for this online seminar that highlight the benefits of using GaN in power converters and its impact on the magnetics.
At 10:00 AM CET, the session will start with STMicroelectronics:
10:00 - 10:40 AM CET
- Overview of the power features of GaN that make it ideal to work at very high frequencies with low losses
- GaN in some power converters topologies (ACF, LLC, totem-pole PFC), with a focus on LLC resonant converters
At 10:40 AM CET, Würth Elektronik will explain:
10:40 - 11:20 AM CET
- How to select the correct transformer in power conversion application
- Transformers for LLC resonant converters with GaN
11:20 - 11:30 AM CET: Question & Answers
