Zoé Pál Bőle from Texas Instrument (TI) shares in this blog entry the benefits of using GaN trasnsitors for high-speed motor drive applications compared to conventional silicon transistor technologies.

Efficient Power Conversion Corporation (EPC) announces the introduction of two eGaN FETs that raise the bar for power conversion performance. These products have a maximum operating temperature of 150°C and pulsed currents capabilities of 260 A (150 V EPC2033) and 140 A (EPC2034). Applications include DC-DC converters, synchronous rectification in DC/DC and AC/DC converters, motor drives, LED lighting, and industrial automation.
