When we are designing a switching mode power supply, PCB layout is always an important topic. Solving interference problems by slowing down the switching speed of power devices is no longer a solution. Join us to see how to optimize PCB layouts.
This talk will focus on two board design platforms that demonstrate the scalability of GaN power solutions in different applications. For server DC-DC converters, you will see 4- and 6-phase IBC buck converters with 1.6 kW and 2.4 kW output power respectively, each achieving ~97% peak efficiency. For LV FOC motor drives, you will see a “matchbox-sized” drive with 1 kW output power using 2 paralleled HEMTs for drones, servos, and e-bikes; and a motor drive with 8 kW output power using 8 paralleled HEMTs for e-scooters and power tools. The recommendations for scaling the two different designs are based on a holistic system approach, targeting the highest efficiency and power density to meet customer needs.
