研究目的
Investigating the performance improvements in hard-switching converters using GaN transistors, focusing on efficiency, size, and cost reduction.
研究成果
GaN transistors offer significant performance improvements in hard-switching converters due to their lower dynamic losses, smaller output capacitance, and zero reverse recovery. The analytical tools developed in this chapter provide a means to calculate and compare these losses, with experimental results validating the theoretical predictions.
研究不足
The analysis assumes ideal conditions and may not account for all real-world parasitic effects. The impact of common-source inductance and loop inductance is significant but difficult to measure accurately without perturbation of the circuit.
