eGan Power Transistors

Driving eGaN® Power Transistors

EPC

This tutorial covers the advantages of EPC’s enhancement mode gallium nitride transistors. Explored in this module will be how to drive eGaN transistors in order to take advantage of those improvements in actual design circuits. To best understand the differences of an eGaN-specific gate drive and a generic MOSFET driver, the characteristics an “ideal” eGaN gate drive will have to be taken into consideration.
