Evaluation of Gallium Nitride Transistors in High Frequency Resonant and Soft-Switching DC–DC Converters
Abstract
The emergence of gallium nitride (GaN)-based power devices offers the potential to achieve higher efficiencies and higher switching frequencies than possible with mature silicon (Si) power MOSFETs. In this paper, we will evaluate the ability of gallium nitride transistors to improve efficiency and output power density in high frequency resonant and soft-switching applications. To experimentally verify the benefits of replacing Si MOSFETs with enhancement mode GaN transistors (eGaNFETs) in a high frequency resonant converter, 48-12 V unregulated isolated bus converter prototypes operating at a switching frequency of 1.2 MHz and an output power of up to 400 W are compared using Si and GaN power devices.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
