DC-DC converter handbook covers GaN transistors

The demand for information is growing at unprecedented rates and society’s insatiable appetite for communication, computing and downloading, is driving this demand. With emerging technologies, such as, cloud computing and the internet of things, not to mention the 300 hours of video being loaded to YouTube every minute, this trend for more and faster access to information is showing no signs of slowing…and this is the challenge that motivated the writing of this practical engineering handbook – DC-DC Conversion: A Supplement to GaN Transistors for Efficient Power Conversion

This book addresses how power conversion systems will continue to improve in order to keep pace with the rapid improvements in computing power and the need for efficient data centers. With a focus on the use of high performance GaN technology, this DC-DC handbook goes through step-by-step analysis of how to create power conversion solutions using GaN devices. The analysis makes direct performance comparisons with state-of-the-art silicon power transistors traditionally used in power conversion systems.

Finally, combining the discussion of power conversion systems architectures and the superior performance of GaN technology, the book introduces a new power delivery architecture that takes advantage of the superior performance attributes of GaN – showing the increased power density that can be achieved with high frequency switching.

DC-DC Conversion: A Supplement to GaN Transistors for Efficient Power Conversion is available for $39.95 and can be purchased from Digi-Key (www.digikey.com), or from Amazon.com.
