Power Integrations demos first 2200V GaN technology for high-voltage power systems

Power Integrations Inc of San Jose, CA, USA (which provides high-voltage integrated circuits for energy-efficient power conversion) says that PowiGaN gallium nitride (GaN) technology is now rated at up to 2200V, far exceeding the voltage capabilities of all other commercially available GaN technologies, it is claimed. This positions PowiGaN as the leading technology solution for high-voltage data centers, electric vehicles (EVs), renewable energy and HVDC infrastructure as they leverage higher-voltage bus architectures in search of greater power density, the firm adds...
