New technologies such as SiC & GaN are not only making older systems perform at higher levels, but are creating new markets that were never known to be possible prior to their adoption. Given the current market conditions you can expect strong demand and tight supply for all three technologies for at least another three to five years. This training will help designers take a fresh look at these three technologies and help decide where each best fits your application given technical, cost and availability considerations. What Attendees will Learn: Silicon-junction, Silicon Carbide and Gallium Nitride technology overviews and comparison; Cost and availability of different power semiconductors; How to read datasheet metrics to choose the right MOSFET for your application; An understanding of avalanche ratings, EAS and MOSFET robustness; Packaging and thermal considerations for modern power conversion applications Tuesday, April 18, 2023 | 9:00 am PDT | 12:00 pm EDT | 18:00 CEST Register now for free
