EPC Design Tips+ Webinar
Efficient Power Conversion (EPC) webinars represent over 60 years of combined experience in advanced power management technology. With this webinar, learn with Alex Lidow, Easy Design Tips to Maximize Performance and Reliability in Your GaN Designs.
View the original broadcast of the webinar to learn basic techniques to achieve maximum performance and unmatched reliability in high-performance power conversion circuits by using GaN transistors.
Learn more about:
- Optimal layout techniques to take full advantage of the speed of GaN
- Simple, inexpensive heat-sinking techniques to extract even more power out of GaN designs
- Why eGaN® FETs generate less EMI than MOSFETs, despite their fast-switching speeds
- How testing gallium nitride devices to failure demonstrates robustness unmatched by silicon power MOSFETs
Speaker: Alex Lidow is CEO and co-founder of Efficient Power Conversion Corporation (EPC). Prior to founding EPC, Dr. Lidow was CEO of International Rectifier Corporation. A co-inventor of the HEXFET power MOSFET, Dr. Lidow holds many patents in power semiconductor technology and has authored numerous publications on related subjects, including co-authoring the first textbook on GaN transistors, GaN Transistors for Efficient Power Conversion, now in its third edition published by John Wiley and Sons. Lidow earned his Bachelor of Science degree from Caltech and his Ph.D. from Stanford.
Host: David Lunsetter, Senior Applications Engineer at DigiKey, has been helping DigiKey customers for over 24 years. His specialty is knowing a bit about most products we sell, and keeping the memory of such items as bucket-brigades and WOMs alive. David holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from North Dakota State University. When not working, he enjoys paddling and wetting a line now and then; that is, when he can get away from chauffeuring children, battling foxes, or mending fences.
