Imec has demonstrated a functional GaN half-bridge monolithically integrated with drivers. Mounted on a buck-convertor test board, the chip converts an input voltage of 48 Volt to an output voltage of 1 Volt, with a pulse width modulation signal of 1 MHz. The achievement leverages on Imec’s GaN-on-SOI and GaN-on-QST technology platforms, reducing parasitic inductance ...
