ISSCC 2021: Integrated GaN gate drive switches mains power at >100V/ns

GaN power transistors are becoming the gold standard for fast compact mains power switching – GaN HEMTs have no reverse recovery charge and can be designed with low on-resistance and low parasitic capacitance. However, their gates are fussy, and unbelievably fussy if all available speed is to be squeezed from this technology. Inappropriate gate drive ...

Nasa delays launch for DART asteroid impact test

Nasa has chosen a later launch window for testing its first flight demonstration for planetary defence against the threat of asteroid impact. Dubbed the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART), the mission aims to shift an asteroid’s orbit through kinetic impact, in September 2022. Basically, impacting a spacecraft into the smaller member of the binary asteroid ...
