EPC Launches 3rd Edition of GaN Textbook

Efficient Power Conversion Corporation (EPC) announce the publication of the third edition of “GaN Transistors for Efficient Power Conversion,” a textbook written by power conversion industry experts and published by John Wiley and Sons. 

This textbook is designed to provide power system design engineering students, as well as practicing engineers, basic technical and application-focused information on how to design more efficient power conversion systems using gallium nitride-based transistors. Gallium nitride (GaN) is leading edge technology that is displacing the venerable silicon MOSFET in power conversion applications. As silicon approaches its performance limits, GaN devices offer superior conductivity and switching characteristics, allowing designers to greatly increase efficiency, and reduce size, weight, and cost.

This timely third edition has been substantially expanded to keep students and practicing power conversion engineers ahead of the learning curve in GaN technology advancements and emerging applications. This book serves as a practical guide for understanding basic GaN transistor construction, characteristics, and a wide range of applications (more info).
