Duo link up to develop high-density DC/DC power converter
Summary
Using GaN solves space constraint challenges typical in electric mobility systems by providing more power in smaller form factors. “Creating a more sustainable world through e-mobility is at the heart of our mission and leveraging technologies like GaN are vital in accelerating this move,” said Mikel Parel, CEO of EPowerlabs, “This is demonstrated by our GaN Systems-based converter, which reduces power losses by more than 50% compared to silicon-based designs in the market and is one-third the size of legacy converters." With an input voltage range of 24-60VDC and rated at up to 1kW continuous power with an overall efficiency above 95%, this converter offers a reliable and efficient solution for electric mopeds and scooters, EV systems and vehicles, and numerous transportation and robotics applications. “It’s wonderful to see customers like EPowerlabs using our GaN transistors to make vast power system improvements within the e-mobility space. These changes all play a part towards the goal of using less energy and creating a more sustainable future,” said Jim Witham, CEO of GaN Systems.
