    Figure 1: Simplified comparison of a traditional two-level SiC power stage and a three-level multi-level GaN topology

    ­The shift to 800 V electric vehicle (EV) power architectures is about more than just voltage rating. Moving to multi-level gallium nitride (GaN) topologies can improve system cost, thermal performance and power density compared with traditional high-voltage silicon carbide (SiC) approaches. By dividing voltage st
