Moore’s Law is Alive with GaN
Efficient Power Conversion Corporation
The performance of GaN transistors and integrated circuits is climbing up the learning curve in a way reminiscent of Moore’s Law in the go-go years of silicon. In this industry presentation we will show the significant improvements in performance enabled by a new generation of GaN technology in 48 V – 1 V single-stage conversion, wireless charging efficiency, and LiDAR system speed.
