Vertical GaN in Power Conversion
Vertical GaN devices enable revolutionary improvements in power converter design. Their combination of high voltage capability (>1.2kV) and ultra-fast switching (>10MHz) allows for dramatic reductions in passive component size while maintaining >99% efficiency. This makes them ideal for next-generation EV chargers, data center power supplies, and renewable energy inverters.
The simulator demonstrates how vertical GaN outperforms other technologies in high-frequency, high-voltage applications. Notice the reduced switching losses and improved thermal performance compared to SiC and lateral GaN alternatives.
