This breakthrough paves the way for GaN to become the technology of choice for power conversion circuits that are made in silicon today. Unless the fast-switching GaN power transistor is intentionally slowed down in power circuits, chip-to-chip parasitic inductance causes voltage instabilities,” he said.
