Design DC-DC Converters with Higher Efficiency, Smaller Size, and Lower Cost with Useful GaN-Based Reference Designs

About

Emerging computing applications demand more power in much smaller form factors. In addition to the expanding needs of the server market, some of the most challenging applications are multi-user gaming systems, autonomous cars, and artificial intelligence. Additionally, automotive systems are moving from 12 V distribution systems to 48 V systems. This change is driven by the increase of power-hungry electronically driven functions and the emergence of autonomous vehicles creating additional demands from systems such as lidar, radar, camera, and ultrasonic sensors upon the power distribution system. In this webinar learn how GaN-based reference designs can help you meet the higher demands of today’s power converters across a myriad of applications, power demands, and topologies.

Agenda

EPC’s GaN FETs and ICs suitable for DC-DC conversion applications and accompanying reference designs and evaluation tools
DC-DC reference designs for multiple topologies and power levels
How to accelerate the design process by utilizing EPC’s DC-DC reference designs
Practical design considerations to prioritize performance metrics
