1700V GaN for Auxillary Power Applications

Ally Winning, European Editor, PSD

In a flyback, the benefits that can be achieved from GaN in terms of efficiency are usually limited to applications where the MOSFET stress is below 650V. At higher voltages, SiC or silicon are normally used for conversion. SiC can be pretty efficient but is more expensive than GaN and much more expens
